Tesla announced a groundbreaking milestone in its robotax service: A fully autonomous vehicle managed to leave the factory and drive even to the buyer’s address without human intervention.
The achievement, filmed on video, involved one Model and Who drove on roads and in residential areas in Texas, the United States, where the service is currently being tested with a limited group of users, mainly influencers.
The announcement was made by Elon Musk A day earlier than planned, and strengthened his promise that Tesla’s cars would be able to deliver goods on their own. However, the claim that this was the first 100 % autonomous vehicle driving on public roads without any passenger or remote operator has been challenged. Companies like Waymo already offer this type of operation in cities such as Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Despite the enthusiasm, the service faces challenges. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an investigation following reports of errors in the first days of robotaxi operation. Tesla has requested that the process be treated confidentially while trying to demonstrate viability and the safety of their autonomous system.
