Tesla robotaxi expands to Miami as service area growth speeds up

Tesla has expanded its robotaxi service to parts of western Miami, starting operations in a limited area and keeping the initial range outside crowded downtown districts. Videos posted on X show riders in Tesla robotaxis operating without supervising staff inside the vehicle. The move comes as autonomous ride-hailing competition builds in Miami, where Waymo has operated since January and Amazon-owned Zoox has begun employee test runs.

U.S. to drop brake pedal requirement for self-driving-only vehicles

The U.S. Department of Transportation is pushing regulatory changes to remove the requirement for brake pedals in vehicles designed to operate only with automated driving systems. If finalised, the proposal could lower commercialisation hurdles for companies developing fully autonomous vehicles without steering wheels or pedals, such as Tesla and Zoox. The plan focuses on exempting self-driving-only vehicles from parts requirements written for human-driven cars. The department will collect public comments for 30 days before deciding.
