The Nevada state regulator has reportedly granted key approvals to Tesla, Waymo and Uber, allowing thousands of autonomous robotaxis to operate on public roads. The decision marks a significant expansion of self-driving vehicle services in the state. Regulatory approval follows a review process focused on safety and operational standards. The move is expected to open Nevada’s streets to a new era of autonomous transport, with the companies now permitted to deploy their fleets. No specific timeline for deployment has been disclosed, but the approvals are seen as a critical step toward wider commercial use. The regulator’s green light covers operations under existing state guidelines.
