Tesla launched a limited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, on Sunday. A small group of hand-picked Tesla investors and social media influencers were the first to experience the service, with a Tesla employee present for safety reasons. The initial rollout was confined to a small area of Austin, marking a modest beginning for what Elon Musk envisions as a major new revenue stream for the company. Tesla stock prices saw an increase following the announcement.
