Tesla’s New Robotaxi Safety Report Names Four Cities Coming Next

Tesla has published its first Robotaxi Safety Report, a new page on its website that tracks driverless miles across Texas and Florida and lists Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Phoenix and San Antonio as its next Robotaxi cities.

The report went live on Wednesday, hours before Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call. It covers Robotaxi rides from January 22 to October 18, 2026, and only counts miles driven with no safety monitor inside the car, including trips where a remote operator was assisting or had taken over. As of October 18, Tesla says its fleet had driven 3.1 million miles autonomously, and a live counter on the page estimates the total at the fleet’s current pace.

Tesla lists zero people injured by Robotaxi, zero Robotaxi airbag deployments and zero pedestrians or cyclists hit over that period. The company compares those results to Texas police crash data, saying human drivers covering the same miles in Austin, Dallas and Houston would have caused about 9.1 collisions with injuries, 4.1 collisions with airbag deployments and 0.52 collisions with pedestrians or cyclists.

Austin accounts for most of the driving, at 2,118,015 miles. Dallas follows at 608,130 miles and Houston at 225,964 miles, while Tesla’s Florida cities are much smaller so far, with Orlando at 61,053 miles, Tampa at 53,117 miles and Miami at 46,262 miles. Tesla also breaks out 862,000 miles driven after dark, 113,000 miles in rain and 575,000 miles in weekday rush hour.

The four “Coming Soon” cities would add Nevada and Arizona to a service that so far runs only in Texas and Florida. Tesla launched unsupervised rides in Dallas and Houston in April and opened in Miami in July. Earlier this year, Tesla was also planning private Robotaxi charging hubs in Arizona, which lines up with Phoenix landing on the list.

Tesla’s methodology section explains what made the cut. The report uses every collision Tesla filed with NHTSA under its Standing General Order on crash reporting while Robotaxi drove with no safety monitor, and it leaves out earlier crashes and miles from rides that had a monitor on board, most of them before January 22. Tesla says two reported events were not counted as injuries: one where another vehicle pushed an SUV into a Robotaxi stopped at a stop sign, sending an occupant of that other vehicle to the hospital, and one where a rider claimed injury after the car drove over a pothole, which Tesla says its investigation did not support. The report lands a few weeks after NHTSA opened a school zone review of Tesla’s robotaxis.

Plenty is still unknown. Tesla hasn’t given launch dates for Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Phoenix or San Antonio, or said whether those cities will start with safety monitors on board. The report also doesn’t show the total number of minor collisions Tesla filed with NHTSA, and Tesla hasn’t said how often the page will be updated. Investors may hear more on the earnings call later today.

Which of those four cities do you think gets Robotaxi first?

Update, October 21, 2026: Tesla has also published a new Robotaxi safety page for first responders, which explains how police, firefighters and paramedics are expected to deal with its driverless cars. Tesla says it trains first responders on its safety protocols and vehicle features, and it uses their feedback to adjust both the cars and its procedures. Departments can request in-person or virtual training by email.

The page also lists features built for those encounters. Speakers and microphones let a first responder talk to Tesla’s 24-hour Robotaxi Support team from inside or outside the car, and a QR code on the windshield opens a portal with the vehicle’s registration, insurance details and Tesla’s Robotaxi First Responder Interaction Plan. On Cybercab, which has no steering wheel or pedals, a manual motion pad on the touchscreen lets responders move the car during an emergency. Tesla’s interaction plan, dated September 3, 2026, also lists a toll-free Robotaxi First Responder Support line at (844) 837-5255.
