Part 8/17:
Wimo, Tesla’s autonomous ride-hailing partner, announced it has accumulated 127 million rider-only miles without a human driver as of September 2025, up from 96 million in June. Their safety metrics reveal a 90% reduction in serious injuries compared to human drivers, with fewer pedestrian, cyclist, and motorcyclist crashes. Wimo is actively raising over $15 billion in funding, supported by parent company Alphabet’s lead investment, acknowledging the rapid adoption and safety gains of autonomous fleets.
Tesla’s anticipated surpassing of Wimo’s fleet in the coming year suggests a significant leap in autonomous taxi deployment, potentially transforming urban transportation.
