However, it will cover only a small portion of the city's western and central parts, excluding downtown and Miami Beach, according to a map posted on Tesla's official X account.Miami is already home to Waymo, which has been operating there since January 2026, and Amazon's Zoox moved into the city in April.Tesla's robotaxis launched in Houston and Dallas in April, but this marks the first time that its fully autonomous EVs have been available outside of Texas. (Limited rides are running in San Francisco.) Earlier this year, Tesla announced plans to move into four new US cities in 2026: Orlando, Tampa, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. That falls short of CEO Elon Musk's estimate that 50% of the US population would "probably" be covered by the end of 2025.AdvertisementAdvertisementBloomberg reported earlier this month that only 59 robotaxis are in service across the entire US, while Alphabet's Waymo has registered 577 automated taxis in Texas alone. The project is also being hit by both safety and regulatory delays. Reuters reported in March that Tesla is still a long way off from meeting its required autonomous vehicle test-driving hours in California, logging no hours at all in 2025.Reports of crashes have also continued to surface. Tesla's own data, which it reported to the NHTSA, says that 17 crashes have occurred since the service launched last year, according to Electrek's review of the federal data.PCMag and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article.
