Musk: Texas Cybercab fleet nearly quadrupled in a month as safety remains the real constraint
XFreeze · x · 2026-10-04
Elon Musk explained why Tesla is extremely cautious scaling Robotaxi: the US sees 30,000-40,000 automotive deaths yearly with little attention, but a single Robotaxi injury would become global headline news and could trigger a regulatory shutdown. So Tesla must scale as fast as possible while causing essentially zero harm — "We do not want to injure anyone... ideally not even run over a pet." Despite the caution, the authorized Cybercab fleet in Texas nearly quadrupled in one month, from 45 to 169 vehicles.
