Tesla's autonomous taxi service, which began in Austin, Texas, is anticipated to reach the Bay Area. Elon Musk announced this via a post on X, indicating that the service could launch in a month or two, pending regulatory approvals. However, Tesla has not applied for the necessary permits to operate in California, which has stricter guidelines than Texas. Currently, Tesla holds a DMV permit for testing with a driver but lacks permits needed for commercial operation without a driver and is also missing paperwork from the California Public Utilities Commission.
Tesla has launched its autonomous taxi service in Austin, Texas, with plans to expand to the Bay Area while waiting on necessary regulatory approvals.
