Soon, when Austinites pull up to a light between a Waymo and Tesla they might be the only person in a car. That's because Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced plans to bring a paid ride-hailing service, powered by Tesla’s recently announced robotaxis,

The claim of the vehicles driving around, carrying passengers with no driver behind the wheel by June borders on ridiculous. The numbers just don't back it up

Elon Musk has promised Tesla vehicles had the hardware needed to support a self-driving car. This week, he made his latest

In an online forum for shareholders ahead of Tesla's fourth-quarter earnings, investors clamored for details about Elon Musk's robotaxi rollout.

ISTANBUL – Billionaire Elon Musk announced that Tesla plans to launch robotaxi services in California and other US markets later this year with "unsupervised" full-self-driving cars available as a paid service in Austin,

Tesla plans to launch a robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, this June before rolling it out globally, CEO Elon Musk said on a Jan. 29 earnings call.

Tesla's robotaxis will be available for paid trips and operate without someone behind the wheel in existing Tesla models.

The robotaxi service Musk said will launch in June will likely be distinct from the purpose-built “Cybercab” vehicles that it touted at a splashy LA event in October. Tesla said at the time that it would aim to start manufacturing its Cybercab—which won’t have a steering wheel or pedals—sometime before 2027.

While the initial testing will use Tesla's own fleet of cars, regular customers may be able to add their cars to the ride-hailing fleet next year, Musk says.

Elon Musk doesn’t want to be known as the “boy who cried FSD” anymore, a moniker he gave himself for his many years of repeated promises related to autonomous driving. Now, he claims that Tesla’s (TSLA) technology is better than ever and will be used for rideshare services as soon as June.

Elon Musk promised Tesla’s car sales would jump 20% this year at a minimum, but his own company doesn’t even seem to believe that.
