Episode Details

Tesla’s new driverless taxi service in Tampa hit a snag just hours after launch — a robotaxi was caught driving the wrong way down a one-way street, completely unmanned and blocking traffic. While the service, rolling out in a limited zone of West Tampa and Tampa Heights, is still in its early stages — Texas was the first to test it back in June 2025 — this incident raises serious questions about safety and reliability as Tesla expands its autonomous fleet. The company announced the service just a day before the mishap, adding urgency to the growing public scrutiny of self-driving tech in real-world conditions.
