Tesla Robotaxi App Update Adds Screen Sharing Feature

A new de-compilation of the Tesla Robotaxi app (version 25.11.5) has revealed major upcoming features — most notably a full screen sharing system built on WebRTC, along with expanded in-cabin data-sharing controls. The findings were shared by @Tesla_App_iOS, offering the clearest look yet at how Tesla plans to support passengers in fully autonomous robotaxis.

According to the strings uncovered, screen sharing is designed primarily for real-time remote assistance. The app now includes prompts such as: “Would you like to share your Tesla app screen with a representative? They will see only the app to guide you.” This confirms that Tesla support agents will be able to view a user’s app interface live to help troubleshoot issues — an essential capability for customers riding in a driverless Robotaxi who may need help with doors, climate settings, or routing.

The code references WebRTC.framework, indicating Tesla is using industry-standard low-latency peer-to-peer streaming protocols. Internal strings such as newScreenShareTrack, screenSharePublication, and SCREEN_SHARE_AUDIO show that Tesla plans to enable both video and audio streaming, allowing for real-time guidance during support calls.

Privacy controls also appear extensive. The system includes logic to mask sensitive routes, automatically pause sharing when payment info is visible, and restrict the shared view to specific UI elements. API references like mobile-app/screen-share/token outline a workflow where users authenticate sessions with a secure code before any assistance begins.

This isn’t Tesla’s first hint at screen sharing. The feature first appeared in firmware 2025.38 and again in Tesla app version 4.50.0 last month, but it still isn’t live in either the Robotaxi app or the main Tesla app. These latest discoveries, however, signal rapid development toward a full global rollout.

The update also includes a new in-cabin data-sharing prompt that asks users for consent before using the cabin cameras and mics. Tesla clarifies that cabin camera analytics are used to “improve the intelligence of features like request support,” while sound-detection analytics help enhance “siren recognition.” Tesla says analytics are anonymous by default and only tied to a user in the case of a safety-related event or support request.

This Robotaxi update follows another major release last month, which added live traffic visualization and low battery alerts — part of Tesla’s continued acceleration toward commercial Robotaxi deployment.
