Tesla reported no at-fault crashes for its robotaxis in the latest NHTSA data. The absence of incidents reflects a small active fleet rather than scaled operations. Live tracking shows just 14 unsupervised vehicles in use across markets.
Tesla obtained permits for 42 driverless vehicles in Texas but operates far fewer. Recent fleet data indicates only 31 vehicles active in the past week, with 14 running without human monitors. The unsupervised count includes 16 in Austin, seven in Dallas and three in Houston.
The company launched its robotaxi service in Austin in June 2025. A year later the unsupervised fleet has declined from a peak of 25 vehicles in April. CEO Elon Musk had projected hundreds of vehicles by the end of 2025 but later reduced targets.
NHTSA records list 18 total incidents since launch, with the newest involving a Model Y rear-ended while stopped. Tesla holds 42 Texas permits compared with 577 for Waymo. The smaller exposure explains the low crash totals.
