Tesla has ramped up its autonomous testing capabilities in California by registering over 220 in-house test drivers and 100 vehicles for an autonomous driving permit. This marks a substantial increase from the 59 drivers and 14 vehicles registered in 2022. The permit, which allows level 3 testing of autonomous vehicle technology, requires human oversight. Although the increase aligns with Elon Musk's goal of launching a Robotaxi, Tesla has not reported any usage of its permissible testing since 2019 amid ongoing challenges, including a decline in stock and sales.
Tesla registered over 220 test drivers and 100 vehicles for an autonomous driving permit in California, up from 59 drivers and 14 vehicles last year.
The permit allows level 3 testing of Tesla's autonomous driving software, requiring a licensed driver to monitor and take control when necessary.
Despite obtaining the permit, there's no assurance Tesla will use it, as it last reported usage of this permit in 2019.
The surge in registrations aligns with Elon Musk's ambition to launch a Robotaxi, amidst challenges including stock decline and disappointing sales figures.
