   Tesla expands Houston Robotaxi area tenfold to 254 square miles

   Tesla’s official Robotaxi account announced that its Houston service area has expanded from about 25 to 254 square miles, according to IT之家. The fully driverless rides currently use modified Model Y vehicles, and the expanded zone covers about 1.2 million residents while excluding George Bush Intercontinental and William P. Hobby airports. A map posted by X user @xdNiBoR places Waymo’s Houston area at 49 square miles, but that comparison was not independently measured.

   Tesla publishes first Robotaxi safety report

   Tesla’s first Robotaxi safety report covers 4.99 million kilometers driven through October 18, 2026, and lists no injuries, airbag deployments, or collisions with pedestrians or cyclists. Tesla estimated, using local police accident data, that human drivers over the same distance would have caused about nine injury accidents and four collisions requiring airbag deployment. The supplied reports caution that the figures cannot be interpreted as zero accidents in all circumstances: the report counts certain incidents as Robotaxi-at-fault and excludes collisions caused by other vehicles. The figures were provided by Tesla and were not independently verified in the reports.
