Tesla has told employees it is preparing to launch Cybercab publicly in Austin as soon as this month, according to reports. The company plans to begin with employee rides on public roads before adding the vehicles to its Robotaxi service several days later.
However, Waymo holds a commanding lead with over 220 million rider-only miles compared to Tesla‘s roughly 380,000 cumulative driverless miles. That represents about a 580-fold advantage for Waymo.
Meanwhile, Tesla‘s unsupervised Austin fleet reportedly stood at only around 17 vehicles in July, down from approximately 25 in the spring. The company has nevertheless been building Cybercabs at its Texas factory since February, with more than 100 units reportedly spotted by July.
