Tesla expands Houston Robotaxi zone to 254 square miles
Tesla’s official Robotaxi account on X announced that its Houston service area has grown from about 25 to 254 square miles, encompassing roughly 1.2 million residents. This is the first local expansion since passenger service without safety drivers began. The service uses modified Model Y vehicles and still excludes Houston’s two main airports.
