Tesla Launches Second Update to Robotaxi App in Austin
Just weeks after the successful launch of its driverless ride-hailing service in Austin, Tesla is rolling out the second update to its Robotaxi app. The new version, Robotaxi 25.7.5, brings a host of new features and improvements to enhance the user experience.
One of the most significant changes in this update is the expansion of the service area. Tesla has nearly doubled the travel region, allowing for more convenient and accessible rides for customers. The expanded service area now includes key points of interest in Austin, such as the University of Texas at Austin, catering to the city’s large student population.
Enhancements to the Robotaxi App
Aside from the expanded service area, the update brings several new changes to the Robotaxi app to improve functionality and usability.
Walking Directions
In busy urban areas, navigating to pickup and dropoff locations can be challenging. The new update includes walking directions to both pickup and destination points, making it easier for customers to find their way to the Robotaxi and their final destination.
Closing Times Display
The app now displays closing times for dropoff destinations, giving users a heads-up if they are close to an establishment’s closing time. This feature helps customers plan their trips more effectively and avoid arriving at closed businesses.
Destination Editing
Another useful addition is the ability to edit your destination after booking a ride. This feature comes in handy if you need to make last-minute changes to your plans, ensuring a seamless and flexible ride experience.
Overall, the second update to the Tesla Robotaxi app enhances the service’s capabilities and user experience, making it even more convenient and efficient for customers in Austin.
