Get ready, Austin! Tesla’s highly anticipated robotaxi service could be hitting the streets as early as June 22nd, according to CEO Elon Musk. This groundbreaking development, announced via a June 10th X post, marks a significant step towards fully autonomous ride-sharing.
While the date remains tentative, Musk emphasized the company’s unwavering commitment to safety, stating, “We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift.” This cautious approach underscores Tesla’s dedication to ensuring a reliable and secure experience for its future passengers.
The news comes alongside another exciting announcement: the first Tesla capable of completely autonomous delivery – from factory to customer’s doorstep – is expected to roll off the production line on June 28th. This marks a pivotal moment in Tesla’s journey towards revolutionizing personal transportation.
The choice of Austin as the launch city is no coincidence. Tesla has called Austin home since 2021, with its Gigafactory Texas opening its doors in 2022. This strategic location provides a robust infrastructure and access to vital resources for testing and launching this ambitious project. Stay tuned for further updates as we approach this potentially game-changing moment in the world of autonomous vehicles.
