"Tesla has scaled its California "Robotaxi" program at a lightning-fast pace. To date, the automaker has registered 1,655 vehicles for its ride-hailing service in the state, a spokesperson from the California Public Utilities Commission told Business Insider. The company has registered 798 drivers, the spokesperson said. That's up from 28 cars and 128 drivers in August, when the service launched, according to the CPUC."
"The vehicle number reflects car that have been approved for use, not the actual operational fleet number. The spokesperson also said the carmaker isn't required to update the state as it adds new drivers, which means the current number could be higher. By comparison, Waymo told Business Insider it has more than 1,000 vehicles operating in its autonomous fleet in the region. According to the CPUC, Waymo has 1,955 vehicles registered in the state."
Tesla has registered 1,655 vehicles and 798 drivers for a Bay Area ride-hailing service with the California Public Utilities Commission. The service launched in August with 28 cars and 128 drivers. The registered vehicle count reflects vehicles approved for use rather than the actual operational fleet. The company is not required to update the state as it adds drivers, so the current driver total may be higher. Waymo operates more than 1,000 vehicles and has 1,955 registered in California. Zoox has 229 registered vehicles and about 50 active across San Francisco and Las Vegas. Tesla's Robotaxi operates as a ride-hailing service using FSD and is not registered as an autonomous vehicle service in California.
