Nevada Transportation Authority has approved commercial permits for up to 7,000 fully autonomous robotaxis from Tesla, Waymo, and Uber in Clark County, significantly expanding driverless vehicle deployment in Las Vegas. This regulatory decision lifts previous restrictions and mandates operators to launch within 120 days with safety, insurance, and fare tariff compliance.
