# Tesla Robotaxi: What We Know After the Austin Launch Tesla's Cybercab launched in Austin with a geofenced commercial robotaxi service. Here's what the data shows after the first months of operation. **Operational specs**: Cybercab runs fully driverless (no safety driver) in designated Austin zones. Camera-only FSD, no lidar. **The Waymo comparison**: Waymo operates ~100,000 paid robotaxi rides per week in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Austin. Tesla's numbers are not yet public but the service is in early ramp. **NHTSA status**: Ongoing investigation into FSD disengagement patterns. No recall issued. Tesla argues camera-only systems will outperform lidar at scale due to data volume advantage. The robotaxi revenue model ($0.20–0.40/mile target) could transform Tesla's economics if it scales. The operational data from Austin will be the first real test. → [Full robotaxi analysis →](/node/1369)
