Tesla is expanding its robotaxi service to another Texas city as it seeks to compete with Waymo and position itself as more than just an automaker. The company said in a post on X that it will make its robotaxis available in San Antonio starting at 5 a.m. local time on Monday.
Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology companies like Tesla, Waymo, and Zoox will have to provide first responders with local, on-the-ground support when their robotaxis cause problems under a new California law. The companies could also face penalties if a robotaxi blocks police or firefighters for more than 30 minutes.
