On Sunday, Tesla’s robotics service started in Texas, Austin, with cars for the first time paying passengers without a driver behind the wheel.
” @Tesla_A Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on X on Sunday. Earlier this month, Musk said that Tesla’s robotics service would launch “temporarily” June 22, and that it was really like that.
In another Sunday post on X, Musk praised Tesla software and chip design teams, and called the robotics service “the end of a decade’s labor” and noticed that “AI chip and software teams were built from the beginning of Tesla.”
In a limited area of Austin, Tesla’s model Wii had to get a new driving service to a select group of impressive people for spin riding in Wii vehicles. The robotics service will start using Tesla’s existing vehicles before the company eventually launches a cybercab car for its purpose, which does not have steering wheel or pedal. Musk has said that production on the vehicle will start “before 2027”.
Tesla posted a handful of experiments in Austin, showing that the passengers board the plane, and the car is moving roads and high -speed collisions and pedestrians. The videos show an employee sitting on the passenger seat so that everything is running easily, but there is no one on the driver’s seat.

In the Austin launch lead, Tesla started testing her own driving service with employees in San Francisco Bay Area, with a safety driver on the board. In May, Kasturi posted on X, “For the past several days, Tesla has been examining its self -powered model Wi -Cars (no one in the driver’s seat) on the Austin Public Strites, which has no incidents.”
Texas driver is an appealing point for launching a self -driving service due to the minimum rules around the vehicles. But on Friday, Governor Greg Abbott signed the legislation that requires sovereign vehicles before working. The law is implemented on September 1.
Tesla is included in Austin’s other pre -operating companies. The driver conducts riders there by partnership with Vimo Uber in alphabetical ownership, while Amazon -owned Zox has run his test in the city.
