The YouTube video shows a real unsupervised ride with no driver or safety monitor. This is a genuine deployment, not just a demo. However, Tesla's \"Full Self-Driving\" has a complex honesty profile: (1) Tesla's own disclaimer says FSD \"may do the wrong thing at the wrong time\" and requires supervision; (2) the robotaxi service uses Model Y vehicles, not the purpose-built Cybercab; (3) Tesla briefly put drivers back behind the wheel after incidents before removing them again; (4) Reddit users report the robotaxi is cautious and slow. The gap: Tesla is operating driverless rides (verified), but the scope is limited to specific cities and the system is less mature than Waymo's. Tesla calls it \"autonomous\" while the underlying FSD software explicitly requires driver supervision in consumer vehicles — the robotaxi configuration removes the driver but the software is the same. This is a real deployment but with more caveats than Waymo.","videoUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbPo4rt9vAM","singleTake":"yes","environment":"live_site","speedAltered":"no","autonomyClaimed":"yes","autonomyCorroborated":"partial"},"exportControlClass":null,"minCommitment":null,"warrantyTerms":null,"serviceModel":null,"productionRateClaimed":null,"productionRateEvidenced":null,"teleopRatioDisclosed":null,"interventionRateDisclosed":null,"jsonLd":{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Product","@id":"https://registry.deploy.report/models/tesla-robotaxi","url":"https://registry.deploy.report/models/tesla-robotaxi","name":"Tesla Robotaxi (Model Y ADS)","alternateName":["Tesla Robotaxi","Tesla Model Y robotaxi"],"description":"Tesla's robotaxi service vehicle, a 2026 Model Y operating with Tesla's Autonomous Driving System (ADS, based on Full Self-Driving) engaged.
