Bloomberg points out that the company is close to launching a robotaxi service in the capital of Texas. According to media reports, Tesla plans to start its network on June 12.
The company is testing unmanned Model Y SUVs, which will be used in the initial stage. Model Ys with manufacturer's license plates and a person behind the wheel have been spotted driving in various areas of Austin.
The vehicles are expected to use an "unsupervised" version of the company's proprietary Full Self-Driving driver assistance system.
Let us remind you
In April, Tesla officially launched its own unmanned taxi service, but so far only for company employees in the San Francisco Bay Area and Austin.
In March 2025, Tesla received the first permit from California to launch a robotaxi. According to this permit, Tesla will own and control the fleet of vehicles and will be able to transport employees on pre-arranged trips.
