Tesla Discusses 2025 Robotaxi Deployment in Austin Following Cybercab Unveiling
Dec 19, 2024, 01:08 PM
Tesla Inc. is in early discussions with the city of Austin, Texas, about deploying its autonomous vehicle technology, with plans to potentially roll out a robotaxi service as early as 2025. Emails obtained through public records requests indicate that Tesla has been communicating with Austin's autonomous vehicle task force since at least May to establish safety expectations for the vehicles. The company is considering Austin as a potential first city in Texas for the deployment of its driverless fleets. This follows the unveiling of Tesla's Cybercab prototype in October, as part of its broader strategy to introduce autonomous ride-sharing services in Texas and California next year. The discussions are still in the preliminary stages, with no final decisions made on the deployment location or specifics of the service.
