Tesla CEO Elon Musk may have the sense of humor of South Park 's Terrance and Phillip, but one has to acknowledge his consistency. After expanding the Robotaxi service area in Austin to an area that looks like a giant penis, Tesla also increased the ride fare.

A major change is quietly taking place on the roads of America. Not with drivers but without them. Self-driving taxis, also called robotaxis, are finally here. And two giants are leading the charge: Waymo and Tesla.

Tesla's new robotaxi geofence in Austin cuts across that of Waymo's and has a phallic shape.

Waymo and Tesla ramp up robotaxi efforts, signaling a major shift in urban mobility and the future of autonomous transportation.

Tesla started a dick measuring contest with Waymo, and it is losing. The Alphabet company is expanding its service

Electric car maker Tesla posted a penis-shaped map to describe the scope of its expansion of its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas.

Tesla’s much-publicized robotaxi service began this weekend — but only in one neighborhood in Austin, Texas, only for a select group of the company’s fans and only with a Tesla employee in the front passenger seat.

Tesla promises a cheaper robotaxi solution that will be easier to scale than competitors. Accepting this vision comes with several assumptions.

The service kicked off as scheduled aboard Tesla's Model Y vehicles, with customers paying a $4.20 flat fee to ride.
