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.

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.

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.

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.
