Tesla published its first Robotaxi Safety Report on Wednesday, October 21, saying its fleet drove 3,112,541 miles with no safety monitor on board between January 22 and October 18, 2026, with zero people counted as injured, zero airbag deployments and zero pedestrians or cyclists hit, according to TeslaNorth and Drive Tesla Canada, which reviewed the company's report.

Austin accounted for 2,118,015 of those miles, followed by Dallas at 608,130 and Houston at 225,964, with smaller totals in Orlando, Tampa and Miami in Florida. Tesla also listed 862,000 miles driven after dark, 113,000 in rain and 575,000 in weekday rush hour, and named Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Phoenix and San Antonio as coming soon.
The figures are Tesla's own. Drive Tesla Canada noted the limits the company discloses: its injury count covers only collisions where a Robotaxi made first contact, the human-driver benchmark includes collisions regardless of first contact, miles driven with an onboard safety monitor are excluded, and the benchmark covers only Tesla's Texas markets.

Tesla compared its record with Texas police crash data, estimating human drivers covering the same Texas miles would have had about 9.1 collisions with injuries, 4.1 with airbag deployments and 0.52 involving a pedestrian or cyclist. The report counts collisions Tesla reports to NHTSA while a Robotaxi drives without a safety monitor, including trips where a remote operator was assisting.
Zero is Tesla's counted result under its own definitions, not an independent regulator finding. The exclusions and the first-contact rule are stated in Tesla's own report coverage.
