Tesla will start offering public Robotaxi rides in Austin on June 22, says Elon Musk


Tesla Robotaxi rides are tentatively set to begin in Austin on June 22.

The first Robotaxi Model Y operating without a person in the driver's seat was spotted on South Congress in Austin yesterday. Musk had previously said that Robotaxis will be remotely monitored at first and geofenced to areas of Austin that are the safest for the vehicles to navigate. Musk, who has a history of playing fast and loose with timelines, had originally promised in 2019 that there would be one million Robotaxis on the road by 2020.
