Tesla Cybercabs and Robotaxis Serve Austin F1 Grand Prix
Tesla Cybercabs and Model Y Robotaxis operated during the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, following the service expansion to Circuit of the Americas (COTA). According to videos and photos shared on X, dozens of Robotaxis transported attendees, and Cybercabs made up most of the vehicles. After the race, a traffic camera near Austin-Bergstrom Airport, 7.3 miles from the track, showed several Cybercabs leaving with passengers.…
- Robotaxis covered Austin's F1 Grand Prix following the expansion of service to COTA.
- 93% of the 1,250 Cybercabs spotted Saturday had no driver, per community counts.
- TxDMV registry: 970 Robotaxi vehicles in Texas, including 32 new Cybercabs.
🔎 Why it matters: The Robotaxi fleet registered in Texas reaches 970 vehicles according to the TxDMV, with 32 Cybercabs added in the latest update. Robotaxi coverage of the F1 Grand Prix shows the service operating at a high-demand event at COTA.
📈 Upside: One passenger was able to watch post-race coverage on the Cybercab's screen during the ride home.
📉 Risk: TxDMV registrations do not indicate how many vehicles are actively operating, so the vehicles in service remain unquantified.
