Tesla says its Robotaxis have driven 3.1 million miles with no safety monitor on board and have injured no one. The company put those figures on a new Robotaxi Safety Report page at tesla.com/robotaxi/safety on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, hours before its third-quarter earnings call, TeslaNorth reported. The report covers Jan. 22 to Oct. 18, 2026, and a live counter on the page estimates the running total at the fleet's current pace.
What Tesla claims
For that period, Tesla lists zero people injured by a Robotaxi, zero Robotaxi airbag deployments and zero pedestrians or cyclists hit, according to TeslaNorth and a breakdown posted on X by Sawyer Merritt. Tesla compares that with Texas police crash data, saying human drivers covering the same miles in Austin, Dallas and Houston would have been expected to cause 9.1 collisions with injuries, 4.1 with airbag deployments and 0.52 involving pedestrians or cyclists.
Miles by city
- Austin, Texas: 2,118,015
- Dallas, Texas: 608,130
- Houston, Texas: 225,964
- Orlando, Florida: 61,053
- Tampa, Florida: 53,117
- Miami, Florida: 46,262
Tesla also breaks out 862,000 miles driven after dark, 113,000 miles in rain and 575,000 miles in weekday rush hour. Teslarati noted the page opens with a compilation clip of Robotaxis yielding to cyclists, a wide-turning flatbed semi, a police scene and a line of ducks, and driving through dense fog.
Four cities marked "coming soon"
The page lists Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Phoenix and San Antonio as coming soon, which would take the driverless service beyond Texas and Florida into Nevada and Arizona. Tesla gave no launch dates and did not say whether those cities will start with safety monitors.
How Tesla counted, and what is missing
Tesla says the report counts only miles with no safety monitor inside the car, including trips where a remote operator was assisting or had taken over, and uses every collision it filed with NHTSA under the Standing General Order while driving that way. Miles and crashes from rides with a monitor on board, mostly before Jan. 22, are left out. TeslaNorth reports Tesla did not count two events as injuries: another vehicle pushed an SUV into a Robotaxi stopped at a stop sign, sending an occupant of that other vehicle to hospital, and a rider claimed an injury after the car went over a pothole, which Tesla says its investigation did not support.
The page does not show the total number of minor collisions Tesla has filed with NHTSA, and Tesla has not said how often it will be updated. The 3.1 million figure is far above the 380,000 unsupervised miles Tesla cited on its July Q2 call and the 1 million Ashok Elluswamy announced on Sept. 3, according to Electrek. The report also comes weeks after NHTSA began reviewing a petition over Robotaxi school-zone speeding; see our earlier story. Live fleet details are on our Robotaxi tracker, and Tesla reports Q3 results after today's close (what to watch).
