Texas Robotaxi registrations climb to near parity with Waymo

Tesla's Robotaxi vehicle count in the Texas state automated-vehicle registry rose to 1,244 by November 1, up from roughly 546 at the end of September, according to tracker data cited by Benzinga. That leaves Tesla 15 units short of Waymo's 1,259 registered vehicles. The registry shows vehicle counts only; it does not reveal how many cars carry paying riders, how often they run trips, or whether a human safety monitor is aboard. Management has said on the third-quarter call that the Austin Cybercab fleet grew tenfold in about a month and that unsupervised Robotaxi miles rose eightfold during the quarter.
