<p id="speakable-summary" class="wp-block-paragraph">Tesla is expanding its robotaxi service to Dallas and Houston, according to <a href="https://x.com/robotaxi/status/2045564609504116771?s=46&amp;t=dDcpMIMYg6fdPePSTT9k6w" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">a social media post</a> from the company.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The post says simply that “Robotaxi is now rolling out in Dallas &amp; Houston 🤠” and includes a 14-second video showing Tesla vehicles driving without human monitors or drivers in the front seat.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company now offers robotaxi service in three cities, all of them in Texas, after <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/22/tesla-launches-robotaxi-rides-in-austin-with-big-promises-and-unanswered-questions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">launching in Austin last year</a> and starting to <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/22/tesla-launches-robotaxi-rides-in-austin-with-no-human-safety-driver/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">offer rides without safety drivers</a> in January 2026. In a February filing, Tesla said that its Austin robotaxis have been <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-robotaxi-austin-14-crashes-nhtsa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">involved in 14 crashes</a> since launch.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/09/tesla-is-seeking-permits-to-offer-ride-hail-services-at-silicon-valley-airports/">offers a more limited ride service with human drivers</a> in the San Francisco Bay Area.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tesla may not be running many vehicles in either of these new markets yet, with <a href="https://robotaxitracker.com/?provider=tesla&amp;area=dallas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">crowdsourced data on the Robotaxi Tracker website</a> only registering a single vehicle in each city (compared to 46 active vehicles logged in Austin).</p>
