Tesla has expanded its Robotaxi platform to the Bay Area in California, marking its second operational region in the U.S. after Austin, Texas. The Bay Area covers a larger geofence, spanning about 65 miles. Unlike Austin's operations, which do not have a driver, the Bay Area will have a human in the driver's seat for safety reasons. This operation is designated as a 'ride-hailing service,' even within the context of Tesla's Robotaxi endeavor, with user invites for rides currently being sent out.
Tesla has expanded its Robotaxi platform to California's Bay Area, marking the second major region it will be operating a ride-sharing service in the United States.
In the Bay Area, the geofence spans north of San Francisco and extends south, even below San Jose, covering approximately 65 miles in total.
There are some differences between Tesla's Robotaxi offering in the two cities; in Austin, there is nobody in the driver's seat, but in the Bay Area, a human driver will be present.
Tesla is referring to its Bay Area operation as a 'ride-hailing service' even as it considers it a part of its broader Robotaxi operation.
