Tesla’s inaugural Robotaxi walks will have a human “safety instructor” on board

Some selected will soon be able to discover the Robotaxi service of Tesla for the first time, but they will not be alone in the car. The company plans to launch its fully autonomous carpooling service in Austin, Texas, tomorrow, but a “Tesla Safety Monitor” will accompany the first runners, according to Email invitations Sent to “early access horsemen”. We do not know what capacities the security instructor will have, but they will be seated in the headquarters of the passenger before an autonomous model Y.

The email has described several parameters, in particular that users were limited to a geofisal area which excludes airports, could present themselves to unavailability due to bad weather and can only salute a rootaxi between 6 am and midnight. This restrictive launch would only offer 10 cars and comes after a delay in a Initial launch date June 12.

With the official date defined, Tesla will not offer its Robotaxi service with its Y model for the moment. This Robotaxi service will put the foundations for a possible Cybercab Liberation, which should not start production before at least 2026, according to the company. For the moment, the Tesla Robotaxi service will be faced with competition from WaymoWho started offering its competing services in March to Austin residents.
