Musk: Tesla to Start Robotaxi Service in Texas in June
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has hinted at the launch of a robotaxi service by the electric car manufacturer in the US city of Austin. He said the introduction is also planned by the end of the year in California and several other regions in the USA, following the latest quarterly report.
All models driving autonomously
Next year, all of North America is supposed to follow, as well as "most countries" internationally, he announced. Musk has long promised that all Teslas will drive autonomously. However, so far, even the advanced version of Tesla's "Autopilot" system requires human supervision.
Meanwhile, Google's sister company Waymo is offering robotaxi services without people at the wheel in several US cities.
Dispute over the Right Technology
Unlike much of the industry, Musk insists that autonomous driving is only possible with cameras - without the more expensive laser radars that, among others, Waymo relies on. If this works, Tesla would have a huge cost advantage.
However, experts fear compromises in safety, as the laser radars known as Lidar scan the surroundings of the vehicles in a way that cameras cannot.
Musk, on the other hand, reiterated his position on Wednesday: "People drive without shooting laser beams out of their eyes."
According to media reports, drivers often have to intervene with the current version of the Tesla system.
