Lines step at each registry check. Tesla history comes from our earlier Texas DMV registry checks (from Jun 9, 2026). Waymo, Avride, Zoox start Oct 31, 2026, when we began reading every operator’s roster. We looked for older primary counts and found none: TxMCCS keeps no dated history, the Wayback Machine has no capture of the TxMCCS vehicle lists that holds a count, and our own repo has no earlier roster for them. Their TxDMV authorizations date from Waymo May 5, 2026, Avride May 21, 2026, Zoox May 8, 2026 (PT), but the registry does not show how many vehicles were listed on those dates, so we do not draw a line before our first check. We do not backfill from third-party trackers.
Each bar is the change since the previous registry check (not always one day apart). Red bars are net removals.
