Tesla Heads to Arizona with Robotaxis: A New Era of Autonomous Transport Is Near!

Tesla has officially requested certification from Arizona regulators for its autonomous transportation service, aiming to receive approval by the end of July and launch a new chapter in driverless transport — no driver, no steering wheel, no pedals.

🛣️ Target: Phoenix and Then the World? Documents show that Tesla plans to begin testing its vehicles in the Phoenix metropolitan area, both with backup drivers and in full self-driving mode. This move follows a quiet launch of a pilot program in Austin, Texas, where several Model Y vehicles are already transporting selected passengers under strict safety supervision. Despite early traffic hiccups and unpredictable maneuvers reported on social media, Elon Musk announced an expansion of the service in Austin and stated his ambition to begin operating in the San Francisco Bay Area within two months — if regulators approve.

📋 But California Remains Silent While California’s CPUC issued Tesla an initial type of permit back in March, no new applications have been filed since. This raises questions about whether Tesla can truly begin operations in the state as soon as Musk claims. Still, he remains optimistic: “If regulators allow it, we’ll be rolling in a month or two!”

🔋 Tesla Rides the Next Wave of Growth The push for innovation comes as Tesla’s traditional EV sales slow. Elon Musk is now focusing on high-value ventures — autonomous vehicles, robotaxis, humanoid robots, and AI. Part of this strategy includes the Grok chatbot from his xAI project, which Musk says will be integrated into Tesla cars “by next week.”

📉 The Risks? Bureaucracy and Accidents Wall Street is closely watching the development of Tesla’s robotaxis. While investors are excited about expansion into new markets, they also warn of potential obstacles: complicated approval processes, technological limitations, or safety incidents. U.S. authorities are already investigating reports that Tesla’s pilot vehicles in Austin violated traffic laws within hours of deployment. Tesla plans to expand the fleet to around 1,000 Model Y vehicles and soon introduce a fully dedicated “Cybercab” model — a futuristic car with no pedals and no steering wheel.

📈 Market Reacts Positively The market responded to the news with enthusiasm — Tesla’s stock jumped as much as 4.1% after the announcement. Despite a 25% drop since the beginning of the year, investors see autonomous transportation as a new engine of growth. “This rapid deployment of robotaxis could mark the beginning of Tesla’s assault on existing shared mobility models,” said analyst Alexander Potter from Piper Sandler.

Is Tesla about to change the way we move around cities?

Is the driverless era coming faster than we expected?
