Tesla Inc. has received approval from the California Public Utilities Commission to start transporting passengers, initially focusing on its employees before expanding to the general public. This approval grants Tesla a transportation charter-party carrier permit, part of its strategic plan to launch a ride-hailing service. Notably, the permit does not accommodate autonomous vehicle rides yet. This initiative aligns with Tesla’s aspirations to create a driverless ride-hailing option, allowing it to compete directly with established services such as Uber, Lyft, and Waymo, as Elon Musk emphasizes advancements in autonomous technology and AI.
