Tesla has been testing a robotaxi service in the Bay Area for most of the year
Elon Musk revealed during Tesla's earnings call on Wednesday that the company has been testing a robotaxi service in the Bay Area. Tesla employees have been able to summon an autonomously operated Tesla vehicle for trips using the company's prototype ride-hailing app for the past few months. The vehicles are operating using the latest version of Tesla's Full Self-Driving software, which Musk claims will be 1,000 times better than human driving by the second quarter of 2025. Musk says that he expects to roll out a paid ridehailing service in California and Texas starting next year, pending regulatory approval.
