Anyone can now download Tesla's iOS Robotaxi app, but there's still a waitlist

You may not have to wait too long to book rides in Austin and the Bay Area, though.

Tesla deployed its first fleet of Cybercab robotaxis in Austin back in June(and it didn't take long for tales of unexpected behavior on the vehicles' part to emerge). The company started offering rides in the Bay Area the following month with human drivers at the wheel — so really just a regular ride-hailing service rather than an autonomous one. Tesla has yet to receive permission to run a full robotaxi service in California, but it is allowed to test such rides with a safety driver behind the wheel.
