Videos show Tesla and Waymo ramping up new vehicles for their robotaxi fleets
Tesla is testing its two-door Cybercab robotaxi while Waymo is preparing to deploy more purpose-built Ojai robotaxis for its commercial service.
Tesla and Waymo are scaling up their robotaxi fleets, as videos have surfaced showing a multitude of new vehicles being prepared for commercial use. Tesla is testing its two-door Cybercab, while Waymo is rolling out its Ojai model for commercial rides. A robotaxi content creator, David Moss, captured images of over 100 Tesla Cybercabs and more than 500 Waymo Ojai vehicles during his nationwide scavenger hunt.
Moss observed that Tesla's Cybercabs were still in the validation and mapping phase, with some vehicles still featuring steering wheels. Meanwhile, Waymo's Ojai fleet in Arizona consists of retrofitted Jaguar I-PACE SUVs and Ojai models from Chinese EV company Zeekr, equipped with sensors and driverless software. The sheer number of Waymo Ojai vehicles spotted in Mesa, Arizona, suggests a significant increase in production capacity, potentially five times the initial 100 robotaxis launched by Waymo.
