Coming in June: Paid fully autonomous Tesla robotaxi service in Austin; other cities too will get the service

Tesla always tries to stay ahead of the curve whenever it comes to any emerging service or technology, and it is now the robotaxi service in the US that it is currently eyeing. Here's what Tesla is doing on robotaxi services in the US

Elon Musk's Tesla is now planning on introducing a fully autonomous robotaxi service in the US, starting off with Austin and then later expanding to other US cities. This service will even allow Tesla powers to rent out their own vehicles for this robotaxi service, as per reports.

Robotaxi services by Tesla arriving soon

This service could start within the coming months, according to a Business Insider, and it will open another avenue of revenue earning for the US company. Robotaxi services are fairly new in the United States, with very limited availabilities in US cities, paving the way for Tesla to enter the market. This service could begin expanding to multiple US cities by next year, and the first city that will see the Robotaxi service launch will be Austin.

New technology behind Tesla's robotaxi service?

These Tesla vehicles will be seeing the utilization of unsupervised full-self-driving (FSD) technology in its robotaxi operations, which means those who want to avail the ride, will just have to hop into the vehicle and the car will take care of the rest. Musk has also said that the company will soon expand the FSD technology tests to Tesla's other factories around the world, according to a Business Insider report.
