Tesla's robotaxi debut will reportedly be limited to only 10 cars in very specific areas

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-05 00:58:02

The long-promised launch of Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin is scheduled for June 22, and it sounds like the company's initial offering will be modest at best. The Financial Times writes that Tesla will only have around 10 cars available for rides and that the company plans to make them "avoid the city’s most challenging intersections." If issues arise, remote operators will also reportedly be able to take control of the cars to make sure they reach their final destination. Tesla CEO Elon Mu

Old Video Shows Elon Musk Saying That What Tesla's Launching This Month Wouldn't Count as Full Self-Driving

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-08 04:10:03

The launch date for Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas continues to slip, raising embarrassing questions for the company. For one, the modified Model Y SUVs that will initially make up the EV maker's robotaxi fleet won't technically be driverless, because they'll be teleoperated by human employees if anything goes wrong. They'll also be geofenced to only the easiest areas to drive in, which as Electrek points out is a fascinating example of how CEO Elon Musk has moved goalp

After promising self-driving robotaxis for more than a decade, it's probably no surprise that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has blown way past his promised rollout date of June 12. Now scheduled to formally roll out on the streets in Austin, Texas on either June 22 or 28 — not even Musk seems to know at this point — the tech billionaire's self-driving charade is running seriously behind. As consumer interest in Tesla continues to plummet, one generational hater is showing just how far Musk's last ditch e

Tesla's Robotaxi Launch Date Was Supposed to Be Today, But We're Shocked to Hear That It's Been Pushed Back

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-16 12:12:15

The launch of Tesla's robotaxi network will have to wait. On Tuesday, CEO Elon Musk made a tweet stating that, "tentatively," the first public rides on its autonomous vehicles — which will not be in its purpose-built Cybercabs, but in regular Teslas with updated software — will start on June 22. But the date could shift, Musk added, because "we are being super paranoid about safety." That comment could prove to be revealing. Tesla's robotaxi initiative is clouded with uncertainty, because th

You Are Completely Unprepared for What Tesla's Robotaxi Actually Looks Like

We've finally gotten a glimpse at one of Tesla's Robotaxis in action. But don't expect your socks to be blown off. As seen in a bystander's footage taken in Austin, Texas, that Elon Musk has proudly reshared, it's literally just a black Model Y with the word "Robotaxi" scrawled on the side in a painfully outdated graffiti font. The future is truly upon us. "Beautifully simple design," Musk tweeted, presumably through a pained grimace. BREAKING: First ever Tesla Model Y robotaxi with no-one in

Musk targets June 22 launch of Tesla’s long-promised robotaxi service

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2026-03-18 09:25:36

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said his company will start offering public rides in driverless vehicles in Austin, Texas, on June 22, which would mark the beginning of his long-promised robotaxi service. That date could shift because Musk claimed Tesla is “being super paranoid about safety.” Tesla Model Y SUVs have been spotted in recent days and weeks being tested around Austin with no drivers in the seat. Bloomberg News previously reported that Tesla was eyeing a June 12 launch of the service. Musk has

Rivian will launch hands-off highway driver assist ‘in a few weeks’

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-11-11 21:26:27

Rivian said Thursday it plans to launch a hands-off version of its driver assistance system for highway driving “in a few weeks,” and an “eyes-off” version in 2026. The hands-off system will let Rivian compete with companies like Ford and General Motors, which have both launched similar systems in the past few years. (Ford has named its system BlueCruise, while GM has SuperCruise.) Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (supervised) system, which is not fully autonomous despite its name, requires users to k
