Tesla’s “completely autonomous” Robotaxis made its debut this weekend in Austin, Texas. On Sunday, June 22nd, a small fleet of Tesla taxis began offering rides to people in the province’s bustling capital, according to Reuters.
This is the first time Tesla self-driving cars have picked up paid riders. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the launch was “the pinnacle of a decade of effort.”
“@Tesla_AI Software & Chip Design Team Release of @RoBotaxi!!” Musk has been added.
Tesla has run a trial with 10 vehicles in the A neighborhood known as the Southern Conference, Reuters reported. No one was in the driver’s seat, but during the trial the front seat riders acted as “safety monitors.” It is unknown how many control safety monitors have on top of the car.
However, some people gathered to show their disapproval of the new self-driving taxi. Protesters who took the photo gathered on Saturday with signs saying, “There are no Robotaks in Austin.”
