AI Summary

Tesla has expanded its "Robotaxi" service to Dallas and Houston, marking its first foray beyond Austin and San Francisco. The service areas in these cities appear to be relatively small, with the Houston geofence covering approximately 25 square miles and the Dallas zone centered around the Highland Park area. This is in contrast to Austin, where the service area has grown to roughly 245 square miles over time. The expansion of Robotaxi to these new cities suggests that Tesla is continuing to test and refine its autonomous ride-hailing service, with a focus on gradual and controlled growth.
