Nevada approves permits for up to 8,000 robotaxis in Clark County

Nevada approves permits for up to 8,000 robotaxis in Clark County Image: Primary
The Nevada Transportation Authority unanimously approved permits allowing Tesla, Uber and Waymo to operate commercial robotaxi services in Clark County, according to TechCrunch. The permits allow Tesla to deploy up to 5,000 vehicles and Waymo and Uber up to 1,000 each over the next 12 months; Uber would use partners Motional and Zoox. Tesla's Cybercab chief engineer said 5,000 is a ceiling and that reaching roughly 2,500 vehicles in a year would be a success. Local livery and taxi representatives opposed the approvals, citing possible market and road congestion.
