“A driverless Tesla Robotaxi will never be released.”

"There will be NO robotaxi for at least 10-20 years."

“We continue to struggle to see Tesla overcoming the technological and regulatory hurdles needed to leapfrog current level 4 robotaxis, and believe fully unsupervised FSD could be years away.”

"There is a 17% chance that Tesla robotaxi service will be released to the public before Jan 1, 2026."

"We believe widescale Tesla robotaxi deployment is unlikely within the coming years."

"Next-gen platform won't be out till around 2027, Robotaxis built on that will be out thereafter."

"And that snap [Robotaxi for public] looks like the first half of 2026."

"I tend to be a little optimistic with time frames, but in 2026, so yeah, before 2027. Let me put it that way."

"I believe they’ll have robotaxi operations with or without safety monitors in 5 cities and fully remove safety monitors in at least one city by early April of 2026."

"Strategically, I do think we have a 90% chance to see Robotaxi domination in the next 15 months."

Will Tesla Operate a Paid, Fully Driverless Robotaxi Service Open to the General Public in at Least One U.S. City by 2027?

NVIDIA introduced Alpamayo, a platform comprising AI models, simulation tools and datasets designed to advance autonomous vehicle development. The platform includes Alpamayo 1, a 10-billion-parameter reasoning vision-language-action model available on Hugging Face.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced the Alpamayo platform at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, stating it allows autonomous vehicles to think through rare scenarios and explain their driving decisions. Elon Musk responded on social media that Tesla is doing exactly the same thing.
