Tesla plans to launch its robotaxi service in Austin next month, with precautions to avoid unsafe intersections, following a critical report where their Full Self-Driving (FSD) software ran a red light during testing. Elon Musk stated that the test comparisons made by Business Insider were flawed because they assessed the FSD Supervised in scenarios meant for human intervention. The robotaxi service will function in geo-fenced areas, tailored to ensure a greater safety margin as they enter the competitive autonomous vehicle market.
Musk mentioned that BI's test "made no sense" since it compared Tesla's FSD Supervised software, which assumes a driver is present, with intentions for robotaxis.
The upcoming robotaxi launch is limited to specific areas of Austin, avoiding intersections deemed unsafe, addressing concerns from a recent driving test mishap.
