Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the company will have robotaxis on the streets of Austin, Texas, by the end of June.
In an interview with CNBCâs David Faber on Tuesday at the companyâs headquarters in Austin, Musk said Tesla aims to bring its robotaxis to Los Angeles and San Francisco following the planned Austin debut.
A little late to the game. Tesla plans to roll out ten robotaxis here. Waymo has been doing it for about two years here via Uber. The kids jumped in one a few weeks ago and loved it. COnsidering the current feelings about Musk in Austin, LA, and San Fran where they are going to introduce them, this might not go down very well.
Musk said a Tesla robotaxi service will start with about 10 vehicles in Austin, and rapidly expand to thousands of vehicles should the launch go well with no incidents.
Since 2016, Musk has been promising Tesla investors, customers and fans that the company is about a year away from delivering a self-driving car thatâs capable of transporting passengers safely without human interventions, or a human at the steering wheel. However, Tesla does not yet offer a vehicle safe to use without human supervision.
âItâs prudent for us to start with a small number, confirm that things are going well and then scale it up,â Musk said.
To start, Tesla has said its robotaxis will be Model Y vehicles equipped with a forthcoming version of FSD, or full self-driving, known as FSD Unsupervised.
