Tesla deploys 50 robotaxis in Austin; Broadcom Q2 EPS seen at $2.39
Tesla launched unsupervised robotaxis across the Austin Metro area with about 50 vehicles, compared to Waymo’s 250, intensifying competition for Alphabet’s autonomous unit. Broadcom stock hit new intraday highs as analysts forecast Q2 adjusted EPS of $2.39 on $22.13 billion revenue, driven by AI chip demand from Google.
1. Tesla expands unsupervised robotaxi fleet in Austin
Tesla has deployed its unsupervised robotaxi service across the entire Austin Metro area, operating roughly 50 vehicles without human safety drivers. This offering now competes directly with Alphabet's Waymo, which runs over 250 autonomous vehicles in the same region, as Tesla aims to accelerate its ride-hailing AI strategy.
2. Broadcom hits record intraday highs on Q2 outlook
Broadcom shares traded at new intraday highs ahead of its fiscal second quarter, with analysts forecasting $2.39 adjusted earnings per share on $22.13 billion revenue. Strong AI chip demand, including orders from Google, underpins investor optimism as hyperscaler spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure rises.
