Tesla Confirms Driverless Robotaxis in Dallas, Houston via Video; Shares at $400.62

Tesla expanded its driverless Robotaxi service to Dallas and Houston on April 19, 2026, posting video of vehicles operating without human drivers or safety monitors, marking three Texas cities including Austin. Initially announced April 18 by CEO Elon Musk on X, the rollout features tiny fleets—one vehicle each in new cities versus 46 in Austin—despite 14 prior Austin crashes noted in a February filing. Shares surged 14.8% last week to $400.62, up 3.01% intraday, breaking above 50- and 200-day moving averages in four-month consolidation ahead of Q1 earnings, fueling bullish autonomy revenue bets amid Waymo competition.
