Elon Musk is bringing Robotaxis to a new city
After extensive promises about how his Robotaxis would change the face of autonomous driving, Tesla's (TSLA) CEO finally came through and launched the Robotaxi in Austin. How well that went depends on who you ask. Musk, naturally, had nothing but good things to say about the big event, posting all over X about its success. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Naturally, the event was closely scrutinized, and that's where very different opinions about it started to pop up. Related: Elon Musk announces a groundbreaking change coming to Tesla Critics noted that the event was not open to the general public, only operated in a small geofenced area of Austin for six hours, and had a safety monitor riding shotgun rather than running solo. Even so, many were excited to see the event finally happen and asked Musk on X what was next for the service. Musk has confirmed a few things. And now, thanks to some new reporting, we know the next city to which he plans to bring the Robotaxi. In a July 9 tweet on X, Elon Musk confirmed that the operation in Austin would be growing. "Expanding to a larger service area in Austin this weekend," he said. This correlates with Tesla seeking more Vehicle Operators in the Austin area, per a tweet from Tesla Autopilot recruiter Ben Costa from June 27. A commenter was quick to ask Musk when the service would come to the Bay Area, to which Musk replied, "Waiting on regulatory approvals, but probably in a month or two." However, the Bay Area is not the only place Robotaxi is coming soon. Influencer Sawyer Merritt reports that there's another state in the works as well, per his own research after contacting the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Related: Tesla's next bet could flip the robotaxi race "BREAKING: I have confirmed directly with the Arizona Department of Transportation that @Tesla reached out to them on June 26th to begin the certification process to operate an autonomous Robotaxi service in the state," Sawyer reports. "Tesla has applied for both autonomous vehicle testing/operating with a driver and testing/operating without a driver. A decision on those is expected at the end of the month. They have expressed interest in operating within the Phoenix Metro area," the ADOT reply reads. Musk may be working on the Robotaxi expansion, but Tesla shareholders are not assured he knows what to do to save his struggling company. On July 10, a group of Tesla shareholders sent the company a letter demanding it schedule an annual meeting, which is a legal requirement, per reporting from CNN. "This delay is particularly troubling in light of the growing investor scrutiny Tesla faces," the letter said. Tesla replied to the inquiry the next day, setting a date for November 6 - which is four months beyond the legal deadline by which the meeting should take place. Tesla stock is down 18.53% for the year as investors' confidence is shaken by watching Musk fight with President Donald Trump publicly, going as far as to suggest he will launch a third political party to challenge the president.

Tesla moves to expand Robotaxi to Phoenix, following rival Waymo
Elon Musk's Tesla has applied to test and eventually deploy its Robotaxi vehicles in Phoenix, Arizona, following in the footsteps of market leader Waymo. Tesla has applied to conduct autonomous vehicle testing and operations, with and without human safety drivers on board, in Arizona, a spokesperson for the Arizona Department of Transportation told CNBC on Thursday. A decision on the application is expected at the end of July, and Tesla has "expressed interest in operating within the Phoenix Metro area," the spokesperson said via email. Reuters first reported Tesla's Arizona ambitions. The effort to expand to Arizona comes after Tesla in June began a pilot test of its robotaxis in Austin, Texas. Tesla's Austin fleet includes Model Y SUVs that are equipped with the company's newest, automated driving systems. Those vehicles are remotely supervised by employees in an undisclosed operations center, and they each include a human safety supervisor who rides with passengers. The safety supervisor sits in the front passenger seat, accompanying riders, who are invited fans of Tesla. The supervisor can intervene should the Tesla Robotaxis get into trouble. Waymo, owned by Google parent Alphabet, opened up a driverless robotaxi service to the public in the Phoenix area in 2020. Tesla, which was once seen as a self-driving pioneer, is now working to catch up to Waymo. The companies have distinct approaches to self-driving technology. Tesla claims its choice to mostly use cameras instead of expensive sensors like lidar will make its autonomous vehicles more economically viable. The Musk company's initial efforts in Austin have run into issues. One invited passenger, who runs a Tesla-focused YouTube channel called Dirty Tesla, captured an incident on camera where his Robotaxi dinged a parked car outside of a restaurant. Other incidents where Tesla Robotaxis violated rules of the road in Austin have also been captured on camera and circulated on social media, drawing regulatory scrutiny from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal vehicle safety agency. Tesla is scheduled to hold a second-quarter earnings call on July 23, during which executives are expected to discuss the initial Robotaxi pilot. Separately, Musk on Wednesday said on X that Tesla is awaiting regulatory approvals to bring Robotaxis to the San Francisco Bay Area "probably in a month or two." The California Department of Motor Vehicles sued Tesla in 2022 alleging that the company made false claims in marketing and advertising about its vehicles' self-driving capabilities.
