According to Tesla, a limited version of the Robotaxi service to San Francisco

Tesla launches a more limited version than the early Robotaxi service in San Francisco this week, According to Business InsiderAfter starting the initiator last month in Austin, Texas.

The company plans to provide a horseback with a driver in the driver’s seat, which is necessary because Tesla does not have the appropriate permits for testing or publishing without a driver, according to California DMV records.

It is not clear whether the company has obtained a permit from the California Public Utilities Committee to provide horse riding to the members of the public. To date, it is only allowed to do this for employees. Business Insider reports that the company plans to send invitations to Tesla owners to test the service; On Wednesday, CEO Elon Musk said at a phone conference that he is in the process of obtaining organizational approval in California.

Payment comes to California because DMV is currently trying Tesla prevented from selling vehicles In the state as part of a year -old lawsuit over the promises that the company has made about its capabilities to drive its cars. Tesla also Currently on the trial in a lawsuit On deaths related to the use of the lower -capable driver aid system, automated pilot.

Tesla has only an invitation version of the Robotaxi service in Austin since June 22. It has so far away from what Musk spent years in the trembling. The service is often limited to the Austin corridors in the city center and the main corridors. There is a safety operator in the front passenger seat that can intervene if the car is about to do something wrong or dangerous. Although the service that was launched with about 10 vehicles, it is not clear that the number of the Model SUVs in the city, nor is it clear that the safety operators were forced to intervene.

This is far from the “general solution” that Musk said if Tesla was working on it for a decade. Musk was very confident in the independent Tesla program, as he said that it would take a car from Los Angeles to New York – a trick that has never happened. Musk said this week that Tesla was also trying to expand in Florida and Arizona. Techcrunch I mentioned earlier this month Tesla has started the certification process required to test and work with or without a driver in Arizona.
