Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service in Austin is facing significant delays, prompting scrutiny over Elon Musk's initially bold promises of full self-driving capabilities. The modified Model Y SUVs will rely on teleoperation by human employees if issues arise, and will operate only in designated geofenced areas. This represents a stark shift from Musk's previous criticism of geofencing, directly contradicting his past statements. Despite years of claiming imminent advancements, Tesla's self-driving technology still struggles with basic driving scenarios, highlighting a disconnect between Musk's assurances and the reality of the technology.
The launch date for Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin continues to slip, raising embarrassing questions about the company's progress and Elon Musk's shifting narrative.
Musk criticized the concept of geofencing years ago, yet he now states that for safety reasons, the robotaxi service will be geofenced to easier driving areas.
