Tesla starts testing robotaxis in Austin with no safety driver
This highlights that just about six months after tesla started testing its fledgling robotaxi service in austin, texas, the company is now letting those cars drive around the city with no safety monitor onboard Interestingly, the removal of the human safety monitors brings the company a critical step closer to its goal of launching a real commercial robotaxi service, and it’s a step that’s been years in the making According to reports, ceo elon musk spent a nearly decade promising tesla’s cars were just a software update away from being fully driverless This highlights that now he is on the precipice of launching a service meant to compete with waymo, the alphabet-owned company that he said last week “never really had a chance against tesla Experts suggest that ” the removal of the safety monitors will most likely ramp up the scrutiny on tesla’s ongoing testing in austin, doubly so when the company starts offering rides in the empty cars This highlights that tesla’s small test fleet has been involved in at least seven crashes since june; few details are known about the accidents since the company aggressively redacts its reports to the national highway traffic safety administration According to reports, video of a totally empty tesla model y suv started spreading on social media over the weekend, and on sunday, musk confirmed his company was testing “with no occupants Experts suggest that ” neither musk nor tesla has shared how quickly it plans to move to offer customer rides with no safety monitor
