Elon Musk wants to bring Tesla to SF – good luck

Musk admitted that the company is still awaiting “organizational approval”, which alludes to the hard tesla will face in pushing this process forward. (Get it up? San Francisco?)

But the statement does not allow Tesla to provide horseback riding to the general public or run a full riding service. To run the Robotaxi commercial service in California, you will need any company to obtain three DMV permits in California: Test with safety driver, fully driver test, and deploy independent vehicles. Currently, Tesla only has one of these permits: the test with a safety driver.

If Tesla wants to see her service similar to the one that she launched last month in Austin – without a driver, but with safety control in the driver’s seat; Paid horse riding, but only an invitation – you will also need to obtain these additional DMV permits. You will also need to apply for the independent vehicle passenger program for CPUC, which has not yet done. This is a lot of collars to jump through, and a blatant contradiction from Texas, where all that is required was evidence of insurance.

California organizers may have many questions to Tasla, including explanations for some Thin -level errors Robota was committed in Austin. They may want to know how long the operators are active in each vehicle. They may ask about “fake braking”. They may ask about the steering wheel of that picture. ((You know the person I am talking about.

If any error occurs, California can come and cancel Tesla’s Robotaxi permits. This is what happened to the trip When the company’s employees failed to reveal an accident in which one of her vehicles exceeded a woman after several feet, he was hit in a heavy blow.

When talking about disintegration, companies that run self -driving cars in California must provide data annually to DMV in the state that listed the number of paid miles and the frequency in which human safety drivers forced to control their independent cars. last time Tesla submitted the decoration report 2019When I reported only 12.2 miles independently as part of the experimental offer around its headquarters at Palo Alto at the time. Tesla has not made any reports since then, on the pretext that its test focusing on level 2 leadership.

But there are signs that Tesla will intensify its efforts in California. Earlier this year, Business Insider I mentioned Tesla registered more than 220 test drivers and 100 vehicles for an independent driving permit in the state. This is more than 59 drivers and 14 vehicles that have registered in a previous request in 2022.
