Tesla finally launches robotaxi: getting into one is much cheaper than uber

After several months of waiting, development years and a small delay, Tesla Finally began to activate his Robotaxi serviceWhich allows users to do without a driver with a cyber, a vehicle that does not even have a steering wheel. Elon Musk confirmed that on June 22 the first trips began. The price of this is cheaper than Uber.

In particular, in Austin, Texas, the Robotaxi Tesla service became available in Austin, Texas. There, users can request a pilot trip that He has a price of about 4.20 dollars (slightly more than 3.60 euros to change). Of course, the paths seem to be limited by a small number of people who received an invitation to check robotaxi. At the moment and as reports ReutersThe fleet, which the company activated in the American city, is about 10 cyber means. They also spread through a limited area.

On the other hand, those passengers who climb the car will be checked, as in the Co -Pilot seat Installed “Security Monitors”With whom they can allegedly report any inconvenience. Nevertheless, there are no details about the same or the same or how many users can control with the specified monitor.

Robotaxi is now available, but with many restrictions

The launch of Tesla Robotaxi was detained several times From the fears of Elon Mask about their safetyThe company, in fact, not only significantly limits the trip to the specific area of ​​the city of Austin. It also limits this depending on various conditions.

In fact, a car cannot circulate when the adverse climate is reportedOr it is forbidden to perform complex intersections, in which the driver needs a lot of traffic, and the driver needs a high level of attention. Trips also Forbidden to those users under 18 years oldField

On the other hand, the company confirmed that robotaxi They will not be completely autonomousA field from this desire for safety Tesla will be able to control the cyber remotely through human operators when it is in a risky situation. For example, when traffic is difficult, when it falls into a dead end or when external situations, such as an accident or violation caused by another driver, spend a vehicle for normal functioning.

In any case, and, despite the restrictions that Tesla robotaxi are already in circulation, this is very good news, given what the company’s industry and decade of work is. Elon Musk, of course, should still have a job with different rules As for autonomous driving, which can enter into force in the coming months. In Texas itself, in fact, the governor is preparing a law that forces those companies that work with a driver without a driver to have special permission.
