Elon Musk announced that Tesla's paid robotaxi service will debut this summer in Austin, aiming to revolutionize ride-sharing with autonomous vehicles. Musk indicated the company has thousands of Teslas already operating autonomously, and there are plans to extend testing globally. He expressed confidence in expanding the service to more U.S. cities and eventually North America shortly. Musk emphasizes safety as a top priority, aiming for their autonomous cars to meet higher safety standards than human drivers.
"Teslas will be in the wild with no one in them in June in Austin," Musk said.
"We just want to put our toe in the water, make sure everything is OK, then put a few more toes in the water, then put a foot in the water."
Musk said Tesla is targeting 'a safety level that is significantly above the average human driver.'
