Tesla Robotaxi's Driverless Ride Service Expands To 2 More FL Cities

Tesla is expanding its Robotaxi network, a fully autonomous ride service, to two more Florida cities: Tampa and Orlando.

The company shared a map of its service areas in each city, with the message, “Robotaxi now in Tampa [and] Orlando,” to X on Tuesday.

Based on the map, the service areas, within targeted geofenced boundaries, appear to include Ybor City, West Tampa, Tampa Heights and parts of downtown Tampa and east Tampa, and an area between Beachline Expressway (FL-528) to the south and the Central Florida GreeneWay (SR 417) to the east in Orlando.

Notably, much of downtown Tampa, Hyde Park and South Tampa aren’t included in the service map.

Residents in both cities can access Robotaxi rides through the company’s app for iOS or Android.

Riders can adjust climate settings and seat positioning, stream music and more from the Robotaxi’s touchscreen. The screen also offers critical ride information, allowing riders to monitor trip progress and request support.

With the addition of Tampa and Orlando, Robotaxi is now offered in three Florida cities, including Miami. The service is also offered in Austin, Dallas, Houston and the San Francisco Bay area.

Waymo, Tesla’s largest U.S. competitor for driverless rideshare services, has been testing autonomous vehicles in Tampa and is planning a commercial launch in the city. The company already operates in Miami and Orlando.
