Absolutely awful results are percolating out, despite Tesla trying to corrupt and suppress evidence of robotaxi crashes.

All the accidents happened in July, during Tesla’s first month of operating its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas.

There was at least one injury reported for one of the crashes, but Tesla lists it as “minor”. None of the accidents is being investigated by authorities based on the information Tesla has released.

Tesla hasn’t released many details about its Robotaxi effort, but the automaker is estimated to have only about 12 vehicles in its Robotaxi fleet in Austin as of July, and it was offering rides to only a limited group of users, mostly Tesla influencers and shareholders who are disincentivized from criticizing the company.

As it does with its ADAS crash reporting, Tesla is hiding most details about the crashes. Unlike its competitors, which openly release narrative information about the incidents, Tesla is redacting all the narrative for all its crash reporting to NHTSA.

Three out of twelve of Tesla robotaxis crashed already, and Tesla won’t allow anyone to see why?

This represents a 25% crash rate for their best and most contrived fleet in their first single month. It can only get worse with more real world conditions.

Given their long promised goal of a million robotaxis (promoted to investors as a capability delivered by 2017, yes eight years ago) this could mean Tesla would be the cause of least 250,000 predictable crashes a month.
