Tesla Robotaxi Fleet in Austin Soars 8x in a Month While Elon Musk Admits TSLA Is Still Working on Not Running Over Cats

Tesla said its Cybercab fleet serving Austin has grown to more than 300 vehicles, an 8x increase in 30 days, and Elon Musk said the service is scaling. Musk acknowledged that poor visibility at night remains a challenge as the service extends its operating window from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., and that the main goal is avoiding running over pets such as kittens. Unlike Waymo and WeRide, which use LiDAR alongside cameras, Tesla relies on a vision-only approach. In Europe, Tesla dropped the “Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised” name for “Tesla Assisted Driving” after German authorities said the name could mislead customers, and Musk praised German Transport Minister Steffen Bilger's comments urging other European countries to approve FSD.
