Tesla Launches Robotaxi Safety Report, Claims Zero Injuries

Tesla on Wednesday launched a new Robotaxi Safety Report, offering its most detailed look yet at the performance of its autonomous ride-hailing fleet. According to Tesla, its Robotaxis have driven 3.1 million autonomous miles as of October 18 with no one injured by a Robotaxi, no Robotaxi airbag deployments and no pedestrians or cyclists hit.

The report comes as Tesla continues expanding its Robotaxi service across the United States, with service now operating in six cities and four more markets listed as coming soon.

Tesla launched its Robotaxi service in Austin in June 2025, initially with safety monitors onboard. It has since expanded to Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando and Tampa.

Tesla Shares Robotaxi Safety Data

According to Tesla’s new safety report, its fleet drove 3,112,541 autonomous miles between January 22 and October 18, 2026. Austin accounted for more than 2.1 million miles, followed by Dallas with about 608,000 miles. A live counter on the page shows a higher running total, though Tesla notes it estimates miles at the fleet’s current pace.

Tesla says its vehicles also travelled 862,000 miles after dark, at least 113,000 miles in rain and 575,000 miles during rush hour.

For comparison, Tesla estimates that, based on Texas police data, human drivers would have been involved in about 9.1 injury collisions, 4.1 airbag-deployment collisions and 0.52 pedestrian or cyclist collisions over the 2.95 million miles driven in Austin, Dallas and Houston.

“The Safety Results stand on their own, but Texas police reports offer useful context,” Tesla says.

However, Tesla discloses that the comparison has limitations. Its injury metric only counts collisions where a Robotaxi made first contact, while the human benchmark includes collisions regardless of which vehicle made contact. The figures also exclude miles driven with onboard safety monitors, and the benchmark covers only Tesla’s Texas markets.

Tesla counts every collision it reports to NHTSA while Robotaxi drives without a safety monitor, including when a remote operator is assisting, and offers a download of all reportable events.

Four More Cities Coming Soon

Alongside the report, Tesla listed Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Phoenix and San Antonio as upcoming Robotaxi markets, although no launch dates were given.

Tesla has already secured approval for a limited Robotaxi fleet in Las Vegas, after applying for a Nevada permit covering up to 5,000 vehicles.

The company also published a first-responder safety resource, outlining training, 24-hour Robotaxi Support access and a windshield QR code for vehicle information, along with a manual motion pad that will be available with Cybercab.

“We train first responders on our protocols, work with them to improve our operations and design features to help them safely interact with our Robotaxi fleet,” Tesla says.

With federal regulators continuing to scrutinize Tesla’s Robotaxi operations, the newly published data offers more transparency, although Tesla’s claims will remain subject to independent scrutiny as the fleet expands.
