In all, Austin's AV incident dashboard has documented 120 incidents since 2023, and most of them are safety concerns. Other reported incidents about self-driving operations such as Waymo and Zoox include blocking traffic, near misses, nuisance and collisions. But there may be even more incidents with AVs that don't appear on the dashboard.

I watched over two hours of footage of Tesla's robotaxi service: I saw an Uber-like app experience, the in-car interface, and miles of Austin streets.

The NHTSA contacted Tesla after several videos showed incidents involving its robotaxis after the service was launched in Austin on Sunday.
