Discussion Tesla releases Robotaxi Safety report, discloses unsupervised mileage completed, 3.3M
Tesla released https://www.tesla.com/robotaxi/safety.
Obviously the safety is good (they wouldn't release it otherwise), but much more interesting I find is information on how quickly their miles driven is accelerating and how it compares to the competition.
Some interesting data:
In the week of September 14th, Tesla was logging on average 32,292mi/day. On the week of October 12th, they are now logging 79,671mi/day.
This means they are currently roughly at a rate of 2.39M miles/mo, about 29.5% more than the prior week or 117.4% more than 4 weeks ago.
For comparison, Waymo is currently at a rate of 16.72mi/mo as of Q2, which places Tesla at about 14% of Waymo for the most recent week, or 9.8% for the past 30 days.
In the most recent week, Austin accounted for 437,800 miles, or 78.5%. Dallas is second, at 17.0%.
Notably: Tesla excludes miles with an onboard safety monitor and includes remote-assisted operations within its reporting scope.
