Tesla is expanding its limited robotaxi service to San Francisco this weekend, offering rides with a human driver due to lacking autonomous driving permits in California. The service, initially launched in Austin, Texas, is invite-only for Tesla owners. This expansion comes amidst legal battles with the California DMV over self-driving claims and a lawsuit involving Autopilot-related deaths. Tesla aims for further expansion to Florida and Arizona, pending regulatory approvals.
