US EditionTesla Expands Geofence in Austin for Robotaxi Pilot Program
AUSTIN, TEXAS, JUL 14 – Tesla's Austin Robotaxi pilot now covers 3.9 square miles more than Waymo's area, enabling longer rides and faster scaling with an expanded fleet of Model Y vehicles.
- Tesla has increased the size of its Robotaxi pilot’s geofenced coverage area in Austin, Texas, expanding it to twice the extent of the zone first established in late June.
- The expansion followed Tesla CEO Elon Musk's announcement last week and a retail investor's joke to shape the new area like a phallus.
- The official Robotaxi app updated Sunday to reflect the larger, intentionally shaped coverage area, now serving roughly 3.9 square miles more than Waymo's Austin zone.
- Tesla's Robotaxi account on X captioned the update 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,' while Musk commented the service is now 'Bigger, longer, and uncut,' with rides priced at a flat $4.20 fare.
- This expansion indicates Tesla's growing autonomous service presence in Austin and plans to extend Robotaxi operations to the Bay Area within a month or two, pending approvals.
