Dallas Fort Worth, TX, November 2, 2026 — Tesla has expanded its autonomous ride-hailing service by launching unsupervised robotaxi rides in Fort Worth, Texas.

The expansion marks a significant step for the electric vehicle manufacturer’s ambitions in the autonomous driving sector. Previously, Tesla’s robotaxi service, often referred to as ‘Robotaxi’ or operating under its ‘Full Self-Driving’ (FSD) beta program, has been tested and deployed in limited capacities in other locations. The introduction of unsupervised rides means vehicles are operating without a safety driver present.

Details regarding the specific operational areas within Fort Worth, the number of vehicles deployed, or the exact timeline of this latest expansion were not immediately available. Tesla’s development of autonomous vehicle technology has been ongoing for several years, with the company aiming to achieve full self-driving capabilities.

The launch of unsupervised rides in a new city signifies a progression in the technology’s readiness and regulatory acceptance. However, the specifics of the permits or approvals obtained for operating fully unsupervised autonomous vehicles in Fort Worth have not been detailed in the information provided.

Tesla’s FSD system is designed to handle navigation and traffic controls, but it currently requires active driver supervision. The move to unsupervised rides is a critical phase for the company as it works towards a future where vehicles can operate autonomously for passenger transport services.
