You can now ride Tesla's robotaxis in Dallas and Houston
What's the story
Tesla has announced the expansion of its robotaxi service to Dallas and Houston. The company made the announcement via a social media post, saying "Robotaxi is now rolling out in Dallas & Houston." The post included a short video showing Tesla cars driving autonomously without any human drivers or safety monitors in the front seat.
Service expansion
Robotaxis now operational in 3 Texas cities
With the latest addition, Tesla's robotaxi service is now operational in three Texas cities. The company launched the service in Austin last year and started offering rides sans safety drivers in January 2026. However, it should be noted that since its launch, Tesla's Austin robotaxis have been involved in 14 crashes, as per a February filing by the company.
Service limitations
Limited number of vehicles in new markets
Along with the new robotaxi services, Tesla also provides a more restricted ride service with human drivers in the San Francisco Bay Area. However, it appears that the company is not operating a large number of vehicles in these new markets yet. Crowdsourced data from Robotaxi Tracker website shows only one vehicle each in Dallas and Houston, as opposed to 46 active vehicles recorded in Austin.
