Tesla’s Ride-Hailing Operations

Tesla launched its robotaxi services in Austin, Texas, in June, and later launched them in San Francisco. However, the vehicles have a safety monitor in the front seat to take over as required.

“We are expecting to have no safety drivers in at least large parts of Austin by the end of this year. Within a few months, we expect to have no safety drivers at all, at least in parts of Austin,” CEO Elon Musk said on Tesla’s earnings call last month about safety drivers on robotaxis.

The Tesla CEO, however, added that the company is being “very cautious” about the deployment. “Just to make sure that we're being paranoid about safety, I think it makes sense to have a sort of either safety driver or safety occupant in the car when we first go to new markets to just confirm that there's not something we're missing,” he added.

Musk also added that the company intends to operate the robotaxi in about eight to 10 metro areas by the end of the year, marking a scale-down of his former ambitions of reaching half the U.S. population.
