Nevada Approves Up to 5,000 Tesla Robotaxis, Expanding Beyond Las Vegas Strip

Tesla’s robotaxi program has gained a significant boost in Nevada, where state regulators have approved the deployment of up to 5,000 autonomous vehicles. The decision follows a prior pilot that allowed only 10 robotaxis to operate on the Las Vegas Strip. The expansion reflects growing confidence in Tesla’s autonomous technology and could accelerate the rollout of on-demand, driverless rides across the state. While the approval opens the door for a larger fleet, the exact timeline for deployment and the operational framework remain to be detailed by Tesla and Nevada authorities.
