teslarati.comTesla announced last month that it is expanding its robotaxi service to Dallas and Houston. The move is intended to advance the company's development of driverless technology. A Reuters reporter tested the robotaxis in Dallas and found the vehicles are still operating in a beta-testing phase.
The reporter's experience showed the service has not yet reached full commercial deployment. The company has positioned the robotaxi expansion as a step toward transforming its business. Some investors have noted the announcement as an indicator of progress in that direction.
During the test drives in Dallas the vehicles required supervision and did not operate without human oversight. The beta phase means the technology continues to undergo refinement before wider release. The reporter's assessment indicated that while the vehicles can navigate certain routes, limitations remain in handling complex traffic situations without intervention.
Tesla has not released a specific timeline for moving beyond the beta stage in the new cities.
