Tesla Robotaxi fleet records four months without at-fault crashes

Tesla's autonomous Robotaxi fleet in Austin has completed four months without any collisions caused by its Full Self-Driving software. Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows the streak covers February through spring. Three minor incidents occurred in that period, but all resulted from other drivers hitting stationary vehicles.

The most recent incident took place in April when a pickup truck struck a stopped Robotaxi at a red light. Two similar rear-end collisions happened in March. Elon Musk highlighted on social media that human error caused every crash involving the fleet.

The vehicles have logged more than 673,000 incident-free miles since testing began in Austin last summer. Supporters point to these figures as evidence that autonomous systems outperform human drivers. Critics note the limited fleet size and call for broader data before drawing firm conclusions.

Tesla is using the record to pursue regulatory approvals for wider commercial rideshare operations across the United States.
