Tesla has launched its robotaxi service in Tampa, Florida, operating in West Tampa and Tampa Heights with Model Y vehicles via a dedicated app. The expansion follows earlier launches in Texas and limited service in Orlando and Miami, directly competing with Waymo's driverless taxi rollout.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
