According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla has officially received approval from the Arizona Department of Transportation to launch its Robotaxi service on public roads across the state. Tesla applied for a Transportation Network Company (TNC) permit on November 13th, 2025, and was granted permission to operate autonomously as of November 17th, 2025 (source: Sawyer Merritt, Twitter). This approval enables Tesla to run a paid, fully autonomous ride-hailing service statewide, not limited to any specific city. The decision marks a major milestone for commercial AI-powered transportation, opening up significant business opportunities for autonomous vehicle deployment, fleet management, and AI-driven mobility services in Arizona. The move is expected to accelerate adoption of self-driving technology and may influence regulatory trends and market competition in the autonomous mobility sector.
