Tesla, Uber, Waymo Receive Nevada Robotaxi Permits for 8,000 Vehicles

Nevada regulators have granted operating permits to Tesla, Uber and Waymo, allowing the three companies to deploy up to 8,000 robotaxis within the state over the next 12 months. The approvals mark a significant milestone for autonomous vehicle testing and commercial deployment, giving the firms a large fleet capacity to expand their services in a regulated environment. The permits underscore Nevada’s role as a testing ground for advanced mobility solutions and provide a framework for scaling robotaxi operations while ensuring safety and compliance with state regulations. The move is expected to accelerate the rollout of driverless ridesharing services across the region.
