Tesla has applied to test and operate its Robotaxis in Arizona, CNBC confirmed Thursday. The effort to expand to Arizona comes after Tesla in June began a pilot test of its robotaxis in Austin, Texas.
Tesla, Inc. is making a fundamental pivot from its history as an EV manufacturer to a company focused on AI and autonomy. Tesla's long-term growth is driven by scaling its Robotaxi platform, and energy storage, with a longer-term TSLA investment in robotics through its Optimus division. Vertical integration across manufacturing, AI, and infrastructure supports cost efficiency and scalability.
Tesla reached out to Arizona late last month to start a certification process for an autonomous vehicle ride-sharing service, and a decision is expected by the end of this month, the state's transportation department said on Thursday.
Tesla (TSLA) will likely expand its robotaxi service in the coming weeks and months, and will also soon have Grok, the chatbot made by another Elon Musk-owned company, added to its vehicles likely by next week.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company is expanding its robotaxi service area in Austin, Texas and is bringing xAI's Grok to vehicles. Musk and xAI have faced backlash over antisemitic comments made by the Grok chatbot.
