Tesla Puts Cybercab Into Austin Robotaxi Service as Waymo Runs 4,000 Vehicles and Wayve Enters London

Tesla has begun carrying paying passengers in its purpose-built Cybercab robotaxi in Austin, Texas, a two-seat, steering-wheel-free vehicle that arrives into a market already dominated by Alphabet’s Waymo and newly contested by startups such as Wayve. An invite-only event on September 3, 2026, was followed by public rides through Tesla’s Robotaxi app on September 4.
