"Tesla CEO Elon Musk and AI Director Ashok Elluswamy celebrated Christmas Eve by sharing personal experiences with Robotaxi vehicles that had no safety monitor or occupant in the driver's seat. Musk described the system's "perfect driving" around Austin, while Elluswamy posted video from the back seat, calling it "an amazing experience." The executives' unoccupied tests hint at the rapid progress of Tesla's unsupervised Robotaxi efforts."
"Based on his Christmas Eve post, Musk seemed to have tested an unmanned Tesla himself. "A Tesla with no safety monitor in the car and me sitting in the passenger seat took me all around Austin on Sunday with perfect driving," Musk wrote in his post. Elluswamy responded with a 2-minute video showing himself in the rear of an unmanned Tesla. The video featured the vehicle's empty front seats, as well as its smooth handling through real-world traffic. He captioned his video with the words, "It's an amazing experience!""
