Tesla ‘Robotaxi’ adds 5 more crashes in Austin in a month — 4x worse than humans
Summary
Electrek reports five new crashes in Austin involving Tesla's Robotaxi, bringing the total to 14 since the program began in mid-2025. The piece highlights hospitalization upgrades in a July 2025 crash, widespread redaction of crash narratives, and a safety-rate comparison suggesting Tesla's Robotaxi crashes occur far more often than human drivers, even with safety monitors. It also contrasts Tesla's reporting with other ADS operators like Waymo that publish fuller crash narratives.
