Tesla has secured a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to operate a transportation service, which is a significant step towards the goal of offering driverless taxi rides. Currently, the permit is limited to providing a shuttle service for employees with human drivers. Tesla's long-term aspirations for robotaxi services will require additional approvals from both the CPUC and the DMV, which it has yet to seek. At present, both Uber and Lyft operate under different types of permits, highlighting the regulatory challenges ahead for Tesla.
Tesla has been granted a permit by the CPUC to run a transportation service in California, marking the initial step towards its goal of driverless taxi rides.
As per the commission, this transport charter permit allows Tesla to operate a prearranged shuttle service for employees, but establishing driverless taxi services requires further permits.
