Nevada regulators approved permits for up to 7,000 new robotaxis in Clark County over the next 12 months: 5,000 for Tesla, 1,000 for Waymo, and 1,000 for Uber through autonomous-vehicle partners. These approvals set a regulatory ceiling but do not guarantee deployment volume or launch dates, as companies must complete further inspections, insurance, and fare filings.
