Certification for both driver-operated and driverless autonomous vehicles is being pursued. The application was submitted on June 26, following a limited robotaxi service launch in South Austin. Communications between Tesla’s legal counsel and Arizona’s Department of Transportation include discussions with local government and law enforcement, indicating preliminary engagements for a potential launch. CEO Elon Musk has also expressed plans to expand the South Austin service and anticipates regulatory approvals shortly in other areas.
