Tesla is ready to take the leap it has been promising for over a decade: driverless, unmanned, just the car and artificial intelligence. In June 2025, the first fully autonomous Tesla Robotaxi service will launch in Austin, Texas. Elon Musk promises a mobility revolution — but is the world ready? So - Tesla Cybercab in June 2026!
Elon Musk revealed during his Q4 2024 earnings call that Austin will be the first location for fully autonomous driving. He called it a “cautious first step” — a place where Tesla can demonstrate in real-world conditions that its technology is safer than a human.
Austin was not chosen by chance. In addition to the fact that Tesla has its gigafactory in the city, the city authorities are among the most open to innovation in transportation. As early as May 2024, meetings began between Tesla and city representatives with the aim of establishing safety guidelines and a legislative framework for driverless services.
The future is autonomous & it starts in Austin, this June

Technically behind the wheel: what does “Full Self-Driving” mean?
Tesla has been developing software for a long time Full Self-Driving (FSD), which is basically a version of their Advanced Driver Assistance System (Autopilot), but with the ambition to take complete control of the vehicle.
The June service in Austin will be the first to operate entirely without human supervision – meaning there will be no safety driver behind the wheel or remote control. The system will be based on camera data, artificial intelligence and an extensive database of real-world traffic situations that Tesla has been collecting for more than 8 years.
The competition is already heating up + not only Tesla Cybercab in June 2026
Tesla is entering direct competition with companies such as Waymo (owned by Alphabet), which has been offering robo-taxi services in Austin in partnership with Uber since 2023. In addition to them, there are Cruise (GM) and Zoox (Amazon), which are competing for dominance in the rapidly growing autonomous mobility market.
Austin has become a veritable testing ground for autonomous vehicles — thanks to its open regulatory environment and strong technological infrastructure.
Tesla Cybercab in June 2026: what does this mean for the future of mobility?
If the Austin test – Tesla Cybercab in June 2026 – is successful, it could mark the beginning of the expansion of Tesla Cybercab services to other cities in the US — perhaps even in Europe, although the regulatory framework here is currently quite hampering similar experiments.

Tesla predicts it could have hundreds of driverless taxis on American roads by the end of 2025. Elon Musk even goes so far as to predict that the car will soon earned more than its owner — an idea based on a future vision of a shared economy with autonomous vehicles.

Conclusion: technological leap or legal trap?
With this move, Tesla is entering one of the most sensitive areas of mobility — the full automation of human transportation. While the promises are great, the crucial question will remain: Will the technology be safe enough and will the public accept it?
