Tesla reports no Robotaxi crashes because active fleet is minimal
Tesla has not reported any at-fault Robotaxi crashes in the latest NHTSA data, except for a Model Y rear-ended while stopped. However, this lack of crashes is due to the very small and shrinking active Robotaxi fleet one year after launch. In Texas, Tesla holds permits for 42 autonomous vehicles but only 31 have been seen active in the past week, with just 14 operating without human supervision. This contrasts with Waymo, which operates thousands of vehicles and reports many more incidents, reflecting actual operational scale.
- Tesla holds 42 Robotaxi permits in Texas but only 31 are active.
- Only 14 Tesla Robotaxis currently operate without human supervision.
🔎 Why it matters: The latest NHTSA data version shows Tesla Robotaxis’ low crash rate is due to limited fleet operation, not system safety.
📈 Upside: Most reported crashes are not caused by Tesla’s autonomous system.
📉 Risk: Tesla’s active Robotaxi fleet is shrinking, far from the promised expansion.
