Vehicle design and safety-driver status are separate. A Model Y with no safety driver is still a Model Y. The US Cybercab category currently contains 49 verified unique vehicles from the Texas DMV roster. Nationwide coverage is incomplete; other states and city allocations are not yet verified. This reference stays fixed when selecting a city and does not establish active service. These counts must not be added together.

Nationwide Cybercab coverage: Texas is the only verified source currently loaded. Other states and city allocations: not yet verified. New state sources will be matched by VIN so the same vehicle is counted once across overlapping rosters. A listing does not establish the vehicle’s current location or passenger-service status.

439 vehicles on Texas AV roster · observed September 15, 2026. Counted directly from all 439 unique VIN records: 49 Cybercabs and 390 Model Ys. Roster inclusion does not establish current passenger service. This statewide snapshot stays fixed when you select a city.

Nationwide model totals: not verified. Do not subtract these Texas registrations from the 958 community service roster or the 275 unsupervised count.
