futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-02 12:06:18

Tesla is poised to finally launch its long-awaited robotaxi service this weekend in Austin, Texas. But there's a huge, embarrassing catch. As Electrek reports, the self-driving cabs will have a human "safety monitor" plunked in the front passenger seat — a far cry from Elon Musk's bold promise that his automaker would be hosting unsupervised rides this summer. The hilarious admission was disclosed in the recent invitations Tesla sent out to those interested in participating in the robotaxi ser

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

engadget.com Unknown 2026-03-05 12:58:02

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 14:10:03

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

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 22:12:15

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

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-18 04:00:01

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
