Tesla Receives Approval for Driverless Robotaxis in Las Vegas
Tesla has been cleared by Clark County, Nevada, to operate up to 5,000 driverless robotaxis in Las Vegas, the largest share of the 8,000 vehicles authorized for deployment, which also includes Alphabet’s Waymo and Uber. This approval was granted on Thursday, as Tesla’s stock rose 5.1% on Friday, August 21, 2026.
In addition to the Las Vegas approval, Tesla announced plans for its electric semi truck to debut in Europe at an international transportation expo in Germany. Their expansion efforts come amidst ongoing concerns that much of Tesla’s market valuation relies on future business ventures that are not yet operational.
