Where robotaxis run
16 US metros have at least one robotaxi operator taking riders, counting invite-only and app-partner service. Our map, drawn from each operator's published service announcements, not their own maps.

Service area sizes for Tesla come from press reading Tesla's app maps. Tesla does not publish them in text, and tesla.com blocked our requests.
Fleet sizes
Neither Waymo nor Tesla publishes a fleet count. The best public numbers are recall filings, which list every vehicle a fix applies to, and state registrations.
| Operator | What is published | As of | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waymo | No fleet count published. Its June recall covered 3,871 vehicles, the closest official number | June 12, 2026 | NHTSA recall 26E035 |
| Tesla Robotaxi | No fleet count published. Texas registrations: 1,302 robotaxis, 573 of them Cybercabs | Nov 11, 2026 | EV Wire, Nov 2026 reported |
| Tesla Cybercab | NHTSA estimates 1,000 vehicles in its audit; Musk said the Austin Cybercab fleet grew about 10 times since launch | Oct 21, 2026 | NHTSA AQ26002; Tesla Q3 2026 earnings call transcript |
| Waymo in Texas | 1,297 registered robotaxis | Nov 11, 2026 | EV Wire, Nov 2026 reported |
| Zoox | Its July recall covered 105 vehicles | July 8, 2026 | NHTSA recall 26E044 |
| May Mobility | About 100 vehicles | May 2026 | May Mobility SEC filing, 2026 |
Miles driven
"Rider-only" and "unsupervised" mean no one in the driver's seat. Tesla's two robotaxi figures use different cut-off dates and may count differently, so we show both and do not add them.
| Operator | Miles | As of | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waymo | More than 300 million fully autonomous miles | Oct 28, 2026 | Alphabet Q3 2026 remarks, Oct 28, 2026 |
| Waymo, safety data set | 271.3 million rider-only miles in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin and Atlanta | Through June 2026 | Waymo Safety Impact |
| Tesla Robotaxi | Nearly 2 million cumulative unsupervised miles | Sep 30, 2026 | Tesla Q3 2026 Update (SEC filing) |
| Tesla Robotaxi, no monitor aboard | About 3.1 million miles since Jan 22, 2026 | Oct 18, 2026 | Cybercab News, Oct 24, 2026 reported |
| Tesla FSD (Supervised), a driver aboard | About 16.7 billion cumulative miles since 2020 | Late Oct 2026 | TeslaNorth, Oct 27, 2026 reported |
Safety
Waymo compared with human drivers
Waymo's figures count every crash regardless of fault, on surface streets in five cities, against a human benchmark adjusted to the same kinds of roads. They do not yet cover Waymo's newer cities.
| Crash type | Waymo | Human drivers, same roads | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Serious injury or worse | 0.01 per million miles | 0.21 per million miles (95% fewer) | Waymo Safety Impact |
| Any reported injury | 0.67 per million miles | 3.77 per million miles (82% fewer) | Waymo Safety Impact |
| Airbag deployed in any vehicle | 0.29 per million miles | 1.61 per million miles (82% fewer) | Waymo Safety Impact |
| Injury crashes with pedestrians | 93% fewer | Waymo Safety Impact | |
| Injury crashes with cyclists | 86% fewer | Waymo Safety Impact |
Tesla
Tesla's numbers are self-reported and not independently audited. FSD (Supervised) has a driver responsible behind the wheel, so it is not the same thing as a robotaxi.
| Measure | Figure | Period | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| FSD (Supervised), miles per major collision | 6,006,200 vs a US average of 660,164 | 12 months to late Oct 2026, North America | TeslaNorth, Oct 27, 2026 reported |
| Robotaxi with no monitor aboard | About 3.1 million miles, zero injuries where the robotaxi made first contact, per Tesla | Jan 22 to Oct 18, 2026 | Cybercab News, Oct 24, 2026 reported |
Federal safety actions
Open and recent actions by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), from its own filings.

| Waymo, recall 26E035 | Vehicles could enter closed freeway construction zones; 3,871 vehicles | June 12, 2026 | NHTSA recall 26E035 |
| Zoox, recall 26E044 | Software could miss heavy smoke at emergency scenes; 105 vehicles, updated | July 8, 2026 | NHTSA recall 26E044 |
| Tesla Cybercab, audit query AQ26002 | How Tesla certified a car with no manual controls to federal safety standards. An audit, not a defect finding | Sep 3, 2026 | NHTSA AQ26002 |
What we could not confirm
- Waymo's last official ride count, 500,000 paid rides a week, dates from March 2026. One million a week is a target, not a result.
- "Over 4,000 Waymo vehicles" is widely repeated but has no Waymo source.
- "300 Cybercabs in Austin" does not appear in Tesla's report or earnings call.
- Tesla said Cybercab rides would come to Dallas in November. We have not seen confirmation that they started.
- Reports of Zoox's total riders conflict, from 500,000 to about 1 million.
