Tesla recently launched a test robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, with a limited number of vehicles and passengers. Elon Musk announced the expansion of this service to a larger area of Austin and noted that approvals for Bay Area expansion are expected in a few months. This initiative is crucial to the company's future, given declining electric vehicle sales and regulatory challenges. Although Tesla has tested robotaxis in Texas without strict regulations, additional approvals are needed in California, where the company would like to operate. Tests in Austin have already generated traffic problems, according to videos shared on social media.
