Track; not yet
- Why
- Tesla published a first safety report covering 3.1 million driverless miles with no injuries, and naming four further cities, which is meaningful transparency. But the data is self-reported with Tesla's own exclusions, the new cities have no dates, the Houston expansion is far larger on the map than in vehicles (a published area of about 254 sq mi against about 34 cars on a crowdsourced tracker, with parts of the polygon reported as not served), and NHTSA has a school-zone defect petition open with a decision due around 2027-01-21. It is worth following, not relying on.
- Next
- Re-check after NHTSA rules on defect petition DP26010 (due about 2027-01-21), when Tesla publishes the next safety report update, and when the first of the four new cities opens, with its safety-monitor status.
