US agency asks Tesla questions about its Austin 'robotaxi' plan

  • In October, federal regulators began investigating 2.4 million Tesla vehicles as the company prepares to launch its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas.
  • The investigation stems from concerns about how Tesla's driverless taxis will avoid accidents, especially in low-visibility conditions like fog, rain, and sun glare.
  • Federal regulators requested detailed information by June 19 about Tesla’s robotaxi fleet operations, vehicle models, and the relation of the system to its Full Self-Driving software.
  • During a recent earnings call, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk assured investors that the robotaxi service is on track to debut in Austin as scheduled, with plans for a wider rollout across the United States by year’s end.
  • The investigation could delay the Austin launch if Tesla’s responses are unsatisfactory, highlighting regulatory limits on new autonomous vehicles lacking traditional controls.
