Tesla plans to launch robotic taxis in Austin, Texas, starting June 22, a major milestone in its decade-long journey towards autonomous driving. CEO Elon Musk announced the rides will commence with a fleet of around 10 unmodified Model Y crossovers, demonstrating the capability of each vehicle for unsupervised self-driving via software updates. The service will be invite-only initially, and while the company aims to create a ride-hailing network, they have plans for the Cybercab, a dedicated autonomous taxi. This initiative indicates a cautious yet optimistic step towards transforming personal vehicles into a sharing resource.
