Tesla launched an autonomous taxi test

Tesla opened the possibility of testing Robotaxi – a unmanned taxi service, which the head of the company Ilon Musk promised to launch this summer. So far, however, only Tesla employees in Texas Austin and in the San Francisco Bay area can verify the performance of the machines.

To order Robotaxi, employees use the application. As when calling Uber, upon arrival of the car, they receive a notification. The driver awaits them in the cabin: although the car moves on its own, while you need a person to monitor safety.
