Tesla’s driverless cabs have reached a fifth US city. This time, there is no human minder in the car at all.
The company rolled out its Robotaxi service in part of Miami on Friday, it announced on X. A map in the post showed a small patch of West Miami, well away from the busy downtown. That mirrors how Tesla started in Dallas and Houston earlier this year.
No safety monitor this time
One detail stands out. Tesla is running the Miami cars without a safety monitor, its VP of AI software Ashok Elluswamy said on X. The Information first flagged the change. It marks a jump in confidence. When Tesla launched in Austin in June 2025, it put a monitor in the passenger seat. The company dropped them there only later.
The rollout follows a familiar script. Tesla opens in a tight zone, then widens it. Austin grew from a small area to the whole metro last month. Miami will probably follow the same path.
