Tesla announced the expansion of its robotaxi service to Dallas and Houston, according to a company social media post. The announcement was accompanied by a 14-second video showing Tesla vehicles operating without human drivers or monitors in the front seats.

The expansion represents Tesla's continued rollout of its autonomous vehicle service to major metropolitan areas. The company's post simply stated "Robotaxi is now rolling out in Dallas & Houston" with a cowboy hat emoji, indicating the service's arrival in the Texas markets.

The robotaxi service allows Tesla vehicles to operate autonomously without human supervision, representing the company's advancement in self-driving technology. The video demonstration showed multiple Tesla vehicles navigating roads independently.

Tesla has been gradually expanding its robotaxi operations as part of CEO Elon Musk's vision for autonomous transportation. The addition of Dallas and Houston brings the service to two of the largest metropolitan areas in Texas, a key market for electric vehicle adoption.

The timing of the expansion comes as Tesla continues to develop and refine its Full Self-Driving technology. The company has been working to demonstrate the commercial viability of fully autonomous vehicles through its robotaxi program.
