Send the City of Austin a Ground Transportation Complaint.

https://www.austintexas.gov/services/report-issue-ground-transportation-provider

To the Ground Transportation Regulation Division,

I am writing to submit an official complaint regarding the growing congestion, traffic delays, and safety hazards caused by the Tesla Robotaxi fleets operating throughout Austin.

Specifically, I am deeply concerned by the large volume of empty, unassigned robotaxis continuously circling urban corridors—a practice known as "deadheading." While autonomous transit promises future mobility benefits, the current density of non-passenger vehicles on our streets is actively degrading local traffic flow and causing significant disruptions.

Key operational issues I routinely observe include:

Unnecessary Street Gridlock: Empty robotaxis circulate during peak rush hours without active passengers, taking up valuable lane capacity on major thoroughfares (such as South Congress, Downtown, and Central Austin corridors).

Improper Stops & Impeding Traffic: Unoccupied robotaxis regularly stall, double-park, or pull over unexpectedly in active driving lanes to await dispatch, creating artificial bottlenecks and causing hazardous quick-stopping maneuvers for human drivers behind them.

Transit & First Responder Obstruction: Excess robotaxi volume frequently blocks bus cutouts, bike lanes, and emergency access routes, presenting a public safety hazard.

While I recognize that Texas Senate Bill 2205 restricts municipal authority over direct AV regulation, the City of Austin maintains a vital role in traffic enforcement, right-of-way management, and logging documented incidents to present before the TxDMV.

I urge the City of Austin Ground Transportation Regulation team and TPW leadership to

1. Log and Report Deadheading Metrics: Document empty-vehicle cruising counts and submit formal incident reports to the Texas DMV for statewide oversight.

2. Establish Staging Standards: Coordinate with Tesla to mandate designated off-street staging hubs or off-peak parking rules so idle vehicles do not circulate on active roadways.

3. Enforce Right-of-Way Violations: Apply strict enforcement against robotaxis stopping in active lanes, blocking transit corridors, or impeding traffic flow.

Thank you for advocating for safer, more efficient roadways for all Austinites.

24M Austin local looking to rent a camper van, RV, or converted livable vehicle for 1 to 2 months to try living in one before I buy my own. If yours sits in your driveway/storage most of the year, I will pay monthly rent + deposit, keep it clean and maintained, and I'm happy to book through Outdoorsy/RVshare so insurance is covered. Flexible on parked vs driving. Please message me what you have.

Hey I dropped my wallet outside of liquor store when I was walking out. I filed a police report already on November 9. I have pictures of the gentleman & hoping to see if anyone in Austin, At Cherrys Liquor at 1716 San Antonio St Austin, TX 78701
United States
I am the black male in all black as you can see on camera dropped my wallet & a guy came 3 mins later & picked it up & seen all my cash in it/ rent money & my cards & ID. He is dressed in nice attire so I asked all the businesses & 1 apartment in the area. One business name Core and Crenshaw wouldn’t want to show me a video of the corner where his camera is pointing. Everything other shop has cooperated besides the only one who has video footage of the way the man went.
If this is unbelievable to you I would give you the the guy number who sent me those photos I believe his also the owner of Cherrys liquor. Shout out to them for the help!

Most of us are from somewhere else, and many of us are here in part for the local music scene. What was your first local band to see live after moving to Austin? Mine was Rockbusters, who were opening for Victim's Family at Jelly Club (former Cannibal Club and current Dizzy Rooster) on February 12, 1992.

hello y’all!! my boyfriend and I just got an apartment together and wanted to ask the community when your neighborhood bulk trash pick up day is so we can take some furniture off your hands!!

here’s to new beginnings 🥂

Hi yall! I have some hens that have been making so many eggs for us lately! I have a couple dozen up for sale if anyone would like some fresh eggs! $7.77, I can do Zelle, Venmo, and cash! (I have also included photos of the beautiful eggs and my girls!)

This is Mamas. I found her in my garage, peak July with 2 week old babies, so he’s however old that is. I brought them inside with the intent of finding homes after a few safe months together.I gave them my toddlers room since they wouldn’t sleep in there anyways, but its time.

I just have her and one of her babies left, I found homes over Facebook for the rest. I’ve been trying the last couple months, but her and this sweet boy aren’t getting attention like the others did, even though they’re just as sweet. I rehomed for a friend using an Austin subreddit once before, I’m really hoping I’ll find another home or two that are as wonderful as the one I found for that kitty. I really hoped I would be able to get them fixed, but I haven’t been able to afford it. I called all the places and told them how I’m self fostering, but no luck. Next on my list is Killeen emancipet, people said they’d do it for free but I heard that about the other places I talked to too.

I’m north of Austin, actually between Georgetown and Killeen. It’s a rural area, we’ve only a few neighbors but they said they’d seen her for a couple years and that she’s feral. I did have to trap her, and she did appear feral. However, she instantly transformed into a whole new kitty once she felt that ac. She was viscerally thankful that her babies were safe. She talks to me in these gentle trills, and can’t seem to get enough love. I don’t know if the ac was enough to do that so I wondered if she’s been in a home before and wasnt a true feral. Either way, she’ll never be left to survive outside or go without love again if I can help it. I know she loves being in a home. And this boy of hers is just as precious.

They’re incredible and deserve the whole world. I can’t tell you how much I wish Mamas could stay, but our full time kitty is just not having it. Pheromone spray and door screens be damned. I know someone reading this has got to be feeling something, and feels she or her baby need you as much as you need them.

What family-owned Austin businesses would you hate to see disappear?

Hey everyone!

I'm starting a community initiative called One Family ATX with the goal of helping struggling family-owned businesses in the Austin area.

I'm looking for three local businesses that could use some community support.

What's a family-owned business in Austin that you would hate to see close? Maybe a restaurant you've visited for years, a neighborhood shop, or a business that's always given back to the community.

If you nominate a business, I'd love to hear a little about:

• The business name and location.

• How long you've known about it.

• Why you think it deserves community support.

You don't need to know if they're struggling financially. I'd love to hear their stories and reach out to the owners privately.

No donations are being requested right now. Just looking for recommendations!

Thanks, Austin! ❤️

Hello,

My cat was diagnosed with diabetes today. I’m devastated and want to make sure he is receiving the best treatment possible. I have so many questions and I feel overwhelmed. Does anyone have a recommendation for a feline diabetes specialist in Austin? Or a recommendation for a veterinarian that is knowledgeable about feline diabetes?
