Tesla is gearing up to launch its robotaxi service in Austin by June, with around 300 test drivers operating self-driving prototypes. Known internally as Project Rodeo, Tesla has ramped up testing efforts, including training local first responders and forming a remote operator team. Following staff layoffs, the focus has shifted more strongly toward robotaxi development. CEO Elon Musk has indicated a preliminary launch involving 10 to 20 self-driving Model Y cars, although some workers express concern about the timing and readiness of the project.
"It feels very forced," a former worker said. "It's this breakthrough moment for Tesla, but there is also this feeling that the timing might not be right."
"Tesla has been building a team of remote operators and working with local first responders to ensure safety during the rollout of its robotaxi program."
"Internally, Tesla has set a June 1 deadline for the launch, and many team members have shifted their focus to robotaxi development."
