Tesla has gained a permit from the California Public Utilities Commission to begin a taxi service in the state, which aligns with CEO Elon Musk's vision of a future driverless taxi service. However, regulatory hurdles persist, as Tesla cannot operate driverless vehicles yet and must first receive further approval from the Department of Motor Services. Initially, the taxi service will involve drivers who are Tesla employees and will only serve prearranged trips for employees before the goal of offering rides to the general public is realized.
Despite the permit, Tesla's vision for a driverless taxi service in California faces hurdles, as they cannot yet transport passengers in autonomous vehicles.
Currently, Tesla's permit allows for a taxi service with Tesla employees as drivers, not yet enabling driverless car operations in the state.
