Business Insider tech reporter Grace Kay shares where plans stand with Tesla's robotaxi service in the Bay Area.

The Tesla CEO said the company expects to expand their autonomous driver service to include customer-owned cars.

Elon Musk had more bold projections for Tesla's robotaxi. But investors didn't get much insight on the Austin launch during Wednesday's earnings call.

Waymo’s robotaxis are fully driverless and expanding fast, while Tesla’s service is still limited and invite-only. The gap is bigger than you think.

Tesla Inc. is in early talks with officials in Nevada to establish autonomous vehicle operations in the state as the automaker plans an expansion of its recently introduced robotaxi service.

Tesla’s go-fast strategy could actually slow its progress and that of the autonomous-vehicle industry if it undermines public trust, some analysts said. Tesla has historically faced legal and regulatory trouble involving its Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver-assistance system, which is not fully autonomous.

Tesla's valuation gains today follow a bigger sell-off in yesterday's trading that was spurred by disappointing second-quarter results and comments from management suggesting that performance headwinds could continue in the near term. The company's share price has seen some big swings in 2025, and is down roughly 21% year to date with today's pop.
