Tesla's anticipated Robotaxi service is reportedly launching soon, with a Model Y spotted operating without a driver in Austin. This has raised excitement, especially after the reported target launch date of June 12. Tesla's head of autonomy seemingly acknowledged the operational vehicle via social media. Despite the approaching launch, Tesla has maintained a low profile in recent weeks, fueling conversations about the potential implications of their autonomous service.
For a company that's supposedly launching an autonomous taxi service in just two days, Tesla has been fairly quiet about it over the past few weeks.
The X account "Terrapin Terpene Col" posted a video today that shows a new Tesla Model Y making a turn off Austin's famed South Congress Avenue, complete with no human driver behind the wheel.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk and other company officials have indicated that the Robotaxi service will launch in June.
The video was then reposted by Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's head of autonomy and AI, with the commentary: "Slowly slowly at first, then..." as a seeming confirmation that the car is the real deal.
