Tesla (TSLA) has just announced the launch of its Robotaxi Service in San Antonio, Texas, starting today. Tesla Robotaxi Service in San Antonio, TX, will start November 9 at 5:00 AM local time.
In early November, Tesla launched the Robotaxi Service in Fort Worth, Texas. San Antonio is the 8th city where Tesla is operating its autonomous ride-hailing service as of today (full list and maps below).
The automaker is accelerating the Robotaxi Program in Texas. Just recently, Tesla expanded the service geofence areas of Houston and Austin, Texas.
The accelerated expansion of the Robotaxi Service is part of Elon Musk’s vision and Tesla’s renewed mission.
In the next few years, the automaker will most likely discontinue customer vehicle manufacturing and focus solely on Full Self-Driving, Robotaxi (Cybercab), and humanoid robots (Optimus and its upcoming generations).
Just last week, Elon Musk announced that Tesla will end Cybertruck production next year.
Tesla Robotaxi: Fort Worth, Texas
The initial launch of the Tesla Robotaxi Service in Fort Worth, Texas, covers around 143 sq miles of geofenced area. Reportedly, the currently usable area is around 105 square miles.
Fort Worth Tesla Robotaxi covers Downtown / Sundance Square, the Stockyards area, the Cultural District, and neighborhoods around TCU.
The official geofence map mainly focuses on the 35W Freeway and surrounding areas, mostly on the northwest side. Coverage on the east is limited as of now.
In the north, it touches the Fort Worth Stockyards Station and Cooper’s Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que as notable locations.
Tesla Robotaxi: San Antonio, Texas
Tesla has shared the following map of its Robotaxi Service in Austin, Texas. The automaker has named it a ‘Launch geofence’.
The San Antonio geofence is shaped like a hexagon/polygon. San Antonio geofence is centered on the Downtown area and expands in all four directions.
According to estimates from our friends at EVWire.com, the San Antonio Tesla Robotaxi geofence is the largest to date, covering 272 square miles (~704 square kilometers). This area surpasses Houston’s 254 sq miles and even Austin’s 272-square-mile geofence.
Interestingly, the geofence map also covers the San Antonio International Airport. However, drop-offs and pickups to and from the airport might be restricted for an autonomous vehicle.
