This video from Fleet Mobility Today explores how Tesla, Waymo, May Mobility, Uber, and Lyft are transforming autonomous transportation across the United States with distinct strategies. Tesla is launching a robo-taxi service in Austin, Texas using Model Y vehicles without safety drivers. The initial fleet of 10–20 cars could expand into thousands if successful. Tesla continues refining its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology to minimize human intervention and is integrating AI innovations such as the Optimus humanoid robot into mobility initiatives.

Meanwhile, Waymo, Alphabet’s subsidiary, has expanded robo-taxi operations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, and is preparing to launch in Miami, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. Waymo partners with Uber in some cities and uses advanced LiDAR and AI decision-making to safely navigate complex urban environments.

May Mobility is pursuing a ride-sharing model, partnering with Uber and Lyft to deploy autonomous Toyota Sienna vehicles. It operates in Arlington (TX), Grand Rapids (MN), Martinez (CA), Detroit, Miami, and Peachtree Corners (GA), with Atlanta next. Its patented Multi-Policy Decision-Making (MPDM) system enhances adaptability in unpredictable driving conditions.

Together, these companies are shaping the future of autonomous mobility: Tesla retrofits consumer vehicles, Waymo builds dedicated robo-taxi fleets, and May Mobility integrates AI into shared services.
