<body><p>STORY: Tesla's robotaxi service is experiencing significant operational problems in Texas, raising questions about CEO Elon Musk’s ambitious vision for a near future full of driverless cars.</p><p>Reuters testing in Dallas, Houston and Austin found long wait times exceeding 30 minutes, limited availability and navigation problems.</p><p>In one case, a 20‑minute trip in Dallas stretched to nearly two hours.</p><p>The service remains confined to those three Texas cities despite Musk predicting last July that robotaxis would serve half the U.S. population by the end of 2025. </p><p>Much of Tesla’s $1.6 trillion valuation hinges on investor belief that the company will soon unleash a vast fleet of robotaxis.</p><p>But analysts say the expansion is moving slower than expected, with Musk now describing a more “cautious approach” to avoid injuries or fatalities.</p><p>In the meantime, experts have raised concerns about the technology's limits, including Peter Stone, a computer science professor at the University of Texas at Austin.</p><p>“People, at least so far, tend to be much better at unexpected situations and being able to reason about something that you've never seen before.

And if you come up with a completely, what's known as out of distribution, which is sort of a code word for just new or novel situation, then it's going to be much more difficult for a software-based system to react than people are.” </p><p>Police in Austin said Tesla's robotaxis tend to ignore posted speed limits, noting that vehicles in test rides last year drove 5 mph above the speed limit. </p><p>Since August, Tesla has reported 15 robotaxi crashes in Austin to federal regulators.</p><p>Most did not involve injuries, but one involved someone being sent to the hospital.</p><p>Tesla has requested that all information about the incidents be kept confidential, according to police.</p><p>Tesla did not respond to Reuters requests for comment.</p></body>
