Tesla has made its iOS Robotaxi app available for all iPhone users to download as it expands service beyond a group of early access users for the first time. Beyond the current lack of an Android app (Tesla says one is on the way), there are a couple of things to bear in mind here. The company's proper robotaxis are currently only available in Austin, Texas. There's also a waitlist, so you won't be able to book a ride immediately.
That said, it might not take folks on the waitlist too long to gain access to the service. Business Insider was able to start using it after about three hours.

Tesla deployed its first fleet of Cybercab robotaxis in Austin back in June (and it didn't take long for tales of unexpected behavior on the vehicles' part to emerge). The company started offering rides in the Bay Area the following month with human drivers at the wheel — so really just a regular ride-hailing service rather than an autonomous one. Tesla has yet to receive permission to run a full robotaxi service in California, but it is allowed to test such rides with a safety driver behind the wheel.
