Tesla on track to launch robotaxi trial in Austin, Texas, by June end, Musk says

  • Tesla plans to launch a Robotaxi service with about ten Model Y vehicles in Austin, Texas, by the end of June 2025.
  • Elon Musk said the slow, controlled rollout prioritizes safety and will begin with a geofenced fleet operating without drivers in designated safe areas.
  • The initial Robotaxi fleet will be remotely monitored by employees using the unsupervised Full Self-Driving software, marking Tesla's first public driverless vehicle deployment.
  • Tesla faces safety inquiries from the NHTSA, which issued a letter on May 12 demanding responses by June 19, threatening fines up to $139 million if unaddressed.
  • If the initial rollout in Austin goes smoothly, Tesla plans to quickly increase the robotaxi fleet into the thousands and extend the service to major California markets including the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
