Nine months after its launch, Tesla's Robotaxi program remains extremely small: fleet size: approximately 35 vehicles; vehicle availability: less than 20%; all vehicles are equipped with an on-board safety driver for emergency shutdown; unmanned vehicle: only one, operating only in a very small area of ​​Austin. Meanwhile, competitor Waymo has achieved: operating over 2,500 fully driverless taxis in multiple cities across the US, with over 127 million miles of autonomous driving mileage, and an 85% lower accident rate than human drivers.
