💨 Abstract

Tesla has started testing its Robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, without human safety monitors onboard, marking a significant step towards a commercial launch. This move follows years of promises from CEO Elon Musk and brings increased scrutiny due to previous crashes and regulatory differences between Texas and California. Tesla aims to expand its fleet, though specifics on timing and scale remain unclear. The company has faced challenges with hardware upgrades and legal issues related to past claims about vehicle autonomy.
