Tesla’s robotaxi initiative in Austin, Texas, is tentatively scheduled to begin on June 12. CEO Elon Musk mentioned that driverless vehicle testing has been happening for “several days” on public roads in Austin without any incidents. Musk pointed out that this testing is a month ahead of projections, with the first self-delivery from the factory to the customer anticipated next month. As reported by Bloomberg, Tesla has set an internal deadline of June 12 for the service rollout. Musk has been promising this robotaxi service for years, previously asserting that it would be operational by 2024. However, Fortune noted that local authorities in Austin have yet to receive crucial safety information regarding the vehicles. Tesla has also not supplied adequate plans or training for emergency personnel in the event of an accident. Musk did not clarify whether this information has been provided since, but city officials hope to receive it prior to the launch. A source within Bloomberg indicated that the June 12 date is subject to change, yet no alterations have been discussed by the company. Testing reportedly commenced this week, with Musk confirming this in his communication. Although the robotaxi is being evaluated without a human driver, Electrek posits that the service will employ “heavy teleoperation,” enabling a human operator to remotely steer the vehicle. Generally, such services necessitate extensive testing with no incidents occurring over several months and hundreds of thousands of miles. In spite of the tight timeline, Texas’s lenient regulations on autonomous driving imply that there is no regulatory authority to stop Tesla from launching on June 12, regardless of the service’s preparedness.
