Tesla's Robotaxi Service Testing

October 27, 2024

Tesla has been testing its robotaxi service for several months. It turns out that Tesla has been running pilotless taxis for its employees in San Francisco for several months. The cars are operated autonomously using the latest version of the Full Self-Driving program, but a driver is still behind the wheel, ready to intervene if necessary. Elon Musk is confident that by the end of 2024 their system will be "1000 times better than human driving" and plans to launch the paid service in California and Texas as early as next year, as soon as Tesla obtains all necessary permits.
