They literally just (in the last few days) started unsupervised robotaxis in Austin.

They are as self-driving as a car can be.

This is different than the one where they had a human supervisor in passenger seat (which they still do elsewhere).

And different than the one where they didn't have human supervisor but did have a follow car.

Now they have a few robotaxis that are self driving.

Have you actually ridden in one? It's unclear whether this is a real thing or not.
This is a very low effort post. Was it really too difficult for you to Google: "youtube tesla robotaxis in Austin"? It took me about 7 seconds. There are lots of videos.
It was just another marketing stunt to pump the stock price before their terrible earnings report. One "unsupervised" unit, with the supervisor in a follow car, that nobody could actually get and drive around in.
