AUSTIN – Tesla has officially entered the robotaxi market, launching its first autonomous ride service with a limited group of users. The launch marks a significant step in CEO Elon Musk’s vision for the future of transportation.
The initial robotaxi fleet consists of driverless 2025 Tesla Model Y vehicles equipped with Tesla’s “unsupervised self-driving technology.” The launch took place in Austin, Texas.As a safety measure, a Tesla employee occupied the passenger seat, even though the vehicle lacked traditional controls like a steering wheel or pedals.
Tesla selected a small group of retail investors and social media influencers as its first riders. Herbert Ong, an X user who interviews Tesla experts, reported that 14 individuals received invitations.
Ong shared his experience on X, noting the robotaxi’s ability to accelerate and park effectively. The initial rides cost passengers $4.20.
Other early users also shared their experiences online. Chuck Cook, another invitee, posted a video on X, highlighting the robotaxi’s confident navigation of a parking lot, taking into account pedestrians and other vehicles. Cook also noted the car jokingly asked for a tip at the end of the ride.
Sawyer Merritt, a social media influencer with a large following on X, described his robotaxi experience as “awesome,” emphasizing the novelty of riding in a Tesla without a driver. Dongjin (DJ) Seo, a co-founder and VP at Neuralink, called the ride “an amazing display of real-world AI.”
Videos from these early rides show the robotaxis successfully completing short trips, navigating turns and intersections, and parking.
Here is my experience (in 4K) from earlier today in one of the world’s first ever public tesla Robotaxi rides in Austin,Texas with FSD Unsupervised! No-one is in the driver seat and the safety monitor in the passenger seat does not have a steering or pedals.

The best tech feels like magic as its so normal you don’t even notice it… until you do.
Took a ride in a Tesla Robotaxi today.
In this clip, it pulls aside on a narrow street with construction, making room for an oncoming car that illegally turns into our lane.
