Tesla Is Hiring Humans To Control Its 'Self-Driving' Robotaxis
Briefly

Tesla is gearing up to introduce its driverless ride-hailing service with Model Ys in Austin by the end of June. This rollout, part of a long-awaited journey toward fully autonomous vehicles, will initially include around 10 EVs and may expand to a fleet of 1,000 robotaxis. Despite its ambitious goals, the company will depend on numerous teleoperation staff to supervise the taxi operations remotely, raising questions about the true level of autonomy. Safety remains a critical issue, especially with ongoing federal investigations into past incidents involving its driving technology.
