Tesla to Launch Robo-Taxi Service in Three Texas Cities

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla announced that it will start its autonomous robo-taxi service in Dallas and Houston, following Austin, from April 18, 2026 (local time). With this, Tesla's robo-taxi service will be operational in three major cities within the state of Texas. Notably, since the beginning of this year, the service has been provided without a safety driver, which has led to increased trust in Tesla's autonomous driving technology. This expansion is seen as a demonstration of the company's commitment to advancing its autonomous driving technology and ushering in a new era of mobility.
