Tesla’s ambitious timeline for launching Cybercab Robotaxi in Austin appears to be on track for June, according to multiple company officials. This rollout represents a significant milestone in Tesla’s autonomous vehicle strategy and could signal a major shift in urban transportation options. Texas regulators and Austin city officials have apparently given the necessary approvals, creating a pathway for Tesla to introduce its self-driving technology to the public in a commercial capacity.
Several Tesla executives have taken to X to confirm the June launch plans. “The future is autonomous & it starts in Austin, this June,” Ryan Torres, Staff Program Manager North America Sales Operations says, highlighting the support from both Austin City and Texas Department of Transportation in “unlocking safe & low-cost premium point-to-point electric transport.”

The Austin launch appears to be just the beginning of Tesla’s Robotaxi service ambitions.
