Tesla is introducing a limited version of its robotaxi service in San Francisco, following an earlier rollout in Austin. Rides will include a driver, as the company currently lacks permits for driverless operation. Tesla's service is only extended to employees at this stage, with regulatory approval processes ongoing. The California DMV is actively trying to halt Tesla's vehicle sales due to longstanding legal issues regarding self-driving promises. Austin's invite-only service operates with safety operators intervening in potentially dangerous situations, having initially begun with around 10 vehicles, but exact operational details remain unclear.
Tesla has launched a limited version of its early robotaxi service in San Francisco, offering rides with a driver while lacking proper permits for driverless testing.
The company is currently allowed to give rides to employees only, as it has not obtained the necessary public utility permit for broader service.
Tesla is also facing legal challenges from the DMV regarding its vehicle sales and promises about self-driving capabilities, alongside active lawsuits related to its Autopilot system.
The invite-only robotaxi service in Austin started with 10 vehicles, primarily operates in the downtown area, and requires a safety operator to intervene as needed.
