Tesla has rolled out its most anticipated robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, with a small fleet of preexisting Tesla vehicles having a safety operator in them. The selected influencers, shareholders, as well as analysts were given the test rides. Although the futuristic Cybercab is not included in the rollout, the move indicates that Tesla is poised to compete with the established auto taxi industries such as Waymo and Zoox. Musk recognized the AI and chip teams of his company for his achievement by saying that it was 10 years of work. Various analysts indicated that Tesla should, therefore, work on its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which has attracted regulatory pushback and complaints among customers.
