Tesla said Wednesday that its robotaxi fleet has logged more than 380,000 unsupervised miles across six cities in two states without what the company described as a "notable" safety incident. Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s vice president of AI software, highlighted the fleet’s safety record during the electric vehicle maker’s second-quarter earnings call, telling investors it had recorded "zero notable incidents." Any reported incidents involved "other actors impacting us when we were stationary," Elluswamy said. Elluswamy said the results support Tesla’s camera-based approach to autonomous driving. Tesla said mileage traveled by its unsupervised robotaxi fleet has grown at a double-digit weekly rate for months. The remarks came one day after Tesla expanded its robotaxi service to Orlando and Tampa, according to Reuters. Tesla launched the service in Austin in June 2025, initially placing safety monitors inside the vehicles, and later began offering fully unsupervised rides in Austin and expanded the service to Dallas, Houston and Miami. Unlike Waymo, which uses "light detection and ranging" or "lidar" sensors, Tesla relies mainly on cameras and AI software.
