Waymo vs Tesla Austin robotaxi tracker: Tesla ~438K/wk vs Waymo ~406K/wk

A chart shared by Jason Scharf on X, attributed to the third-party tracker RtaxiTracker, compares Waymo and Tesla robotaxi activity in Austin, Texas on a weekly basis. As labeled on the chart, Waymo sits at about 406K per week for Q2 2026, and Tesla at about 438K per week for the week to 18 October 2026.

Scharf's post frames the chart as evidence that the race for autonomous service in Austin may already be tilting toward Tesla, based on the tracker's recent weekly climb versus Waymo's stepped quarterly line.

This is an unverified third-party tracker chart, not company-reported or Dealroom-verified data. The metric unit is not clearly stated in the post — the chart shows "per week" volumes without naming whether these are paid trips, rides, vehicle activity, or another measure. Waymo and Tesla figures may cover different periods and definitions (the chart itself notes Waymo as a quarter averaged per week and Tesla as a single recent week), so they are not necessarily comparable. Present this as discussion material, not as independently verified facts.
