Tesla’s Robotaxi app is now available to download in many more countries. It’s live on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in places like the U.K., Australia, Germany, Italy, Sweden and Singapore, with more on the list.

Don’t expect a driverless Model Y or steering wheel-less Cybercab to show up in London or Berlin just yet, though. The app is available abroad mostly so tourists visiting the U.S. can use the service while they’re here.

Anyone Can Download the Robotaxi App Now

Access has widened a lot since the service started. When Tesla launched the Robotaxi service in beta last summer, the companion app was limited to iOS and came with a waitlist. Tesla finally launched an Android version earlier this spring, ending nearly a year as an iPhone-only service.

Now anyone who downloads the app can hail a ride, as long as they’re inside an active service area. For international travelers, that means the app can be installed at home before the trip.

Robotaxi Is Still Limited to Seven U.S. Cities

The app may be available in dozens of countries, but the rides aren’t. Tesla currently offers Robotaxi service in seven U.S. cities:

  • Austin

  • San Francisco

  • Dallas

  • Houston

  • Miami

  • Orlando

  • Tampa.

Cybercab rides are also available exclusively in Austin right now, although they’ve been spotted in other active markets like Miami and Dallas. You can see how big each service area is in our full guide to Tesla’s active Robotaxi markets.

Austin is also the market with the most recent change. Tesla last week extended Robotaxi hours in Austin, now running commercial rides until 11 p.m.

When Could Robotaxi Go International?

The network hasn’t gone international yet, even though the app has. Elon Musk did say last month that the Cybercab could be coming soon to Europe, but that’s more of a hint rather than a timeline. European regulators haven’t even settled on bloc-wide approval for supervised Full Self-Driving yet.

Tesla will likely look to cover a larger chunk of the U.S. before eyeing international expansion. Until then, the app being available abroad is mainly a convenience for visitors, and a Robotaxi ride in Europe or Asia is still a way off.
