Tesla company has officially started its autonomous taxi service. Initial trials are taking place in Austin, Texas. The service is known as Robotaxi and is currently available only by request — primarily for users of the X social network, who have previously supported Tesla and its products.

How Robotaxi works:

  • Tesla Model Y is currently used as the taxi;

  • Operating hours: from 6:00 AM to midnight;

  • Covers limited city areas (no routes to the airport);

  • Users must sign a contract and leave feedback via the app after completing their trip;

  • Operating conditions (hours, service areas) may change temporarily.
