Tesla has officially launched its autonomous taxi service — so far, it operates only based on customer requests.

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.
