US EditionTesla Completes First Driverless Delivery to Austin Resident
- On June 28, 2025, Tesla achieved a milestone by delivering a Model Y without any human driver or remote operator, as the vehicle autonomously traveled from its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, to the owner's residence.
- This event follows Tesla's robotaxi service launch in Austin earlier that month amid regulatory scrutiny and comparisons to Waymo's ongoing autonomous testing.
- The car drove 15 miles from Gigafactory Texas to a customer's apartment without any occupant or remote operator, reaching speeds up to 72 mph on highways and city streets.
- Elon Musk announced that the vehicle operated entirely on its own without any passengers inside or external drivers managing it at any time, describing this as the inaugural fully autonomous trip on a public highway.
- The delivery advances Tesla's self-driving ambitions but also intensifies federal scrutiny amid traffic violations and calls for compliance with new state regulations effective September 1, 2025.
