Tesla on Sunday began public testing of robotaxis in Austin, Texas, marking a major step in Elon Musk's vision for autonomous vehicles. About a dozen Model Ys offer paid rides on autopilot, with a supervisor present. The service is restricted to a limited area and excludes passengers under 18, with safety concerns. Tesla relies on cameras and AI, not lidar or radar sensors, which sets it apart from the competition. This launch, though delayed, is a crucial test for the future of autonomous mobility.
