Tesla’s first Robotaxi rides kick off in Austin, Texas
The company's first robotaxi rides are happening. However, a human "Tesla Safety Monitor" will accompany the first riders.
Most of the early riders appear to be pro-Tesla users, with a company mention in their social media bio or a Tesla cap in their profile picture (or both), so consider these initial reactions within that context. Many livestreams show the safety monitor gripping a handle on the right side of the passenger seat, possibly with emergency controls. There’s also the option to call support if you encounter any issues with your automated ride, although we’d assume that a human safety monitor would likely offer quicker assistance.
