The total lack of a launch event, or even vetted influencer content, tells you a lot about the situation here. Elon desperately needs some good news from one of his companies right now, and Tesla's tiny "robotaxi" fleet is all he has... but too much attention will expose the massive risks involved.

It sounds as if Tesla's Austin "robotaxi" fleet is tiny, and likely limited to a relatively small operating domain in a specific portion of the city. That should give them a few weeks of relatively limited risk in which to build up hype, but as they scale up the crashes will start coming fast.
