Tesla expands Houston Robotaxi area tenfold to 254 square miles

AI summary

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.

In-depth insight

The tenfold expansion is a significant reported expansion of fully driverless commercial robotaxi coverage in Houston, although the comparison with Waymo comes from a user-posted map rather than an independent measurement.

IT之家 10 月 27 日消息,特斯拉在休斯顿的 Robotaxi 自动驾驶出租车服务范围刚刚大幅扩容。特斯拉 Robotaxi 官方账号在 X 平台宣布了这次扩张,确认新版更大的服务区域已经正式上线。

这次电子围栏划定的运营面积大约扩大至原来的十倍,从约 25 平方英里增加到 254 平方英里(IT之家注:约 657.9 平方公里),增幅达到 916%。这是特斯拉自今年 4 月在休斯顿推出无安全员 Robotaxi 载客服务之后,首次扩大当地运营范围。该区域内的乘车服务全程无人,目前使用经过改装的 Model Y 自动驾驶出租车运营。

火箭造型的服务区域

新的电子围栏范围从西北部科珀菲尔德、泽西村附近,一路向南覆盖休斯顿市中心和贝莱尔,西南端抵达密苏里城附近,东侧到帕萨迪纳和南休斯顿边缘为止。现在这片区域覆盖大约 120 万居民,但仍然没有覆盖休斯顿两大主要机场:乔治 · 布什洲际机场(IAH)和威廉 ·P· 霍比机场(HOU)。
