💨 Abstract

On June 10, 2025, Elon Musk announced that Tesla plans to launch its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, on June 22, while emphasizing a cautious approach to safety. Tesla will initially run a small number of remotely monitored, geofenced taxis, with plans to expand rapidly to other cities. Musk's promise of fully autonomous vehicles faces increased scrutiny as Tesla deals with competition and Musk's political engagements.
