Tesla plans a limited rollout of its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, starting with fewer than a dozen vehicles on June 22nd. The launch, initially slated for earlier in June, faces delays and opposition from Texas lawmakers concerned about safety and public trust. Federal regulators, the NHTSA, are also reviewing Tesla's plans and have questioned the company about safety protocols. Despite controversies surrounding its Full Self-Driving technology, Tesla aims to expand its robotaxi service to other cities in Texas and California within months.
