Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch: Model Y, FSD, and a June 22nd Target (Maybe)
Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch: Model Y, FSD, and a June 22nd Target (Maybe)
Tesla aims for a June 22nd launch of its robotaxi service in Austin, TX, using Model Y vehicles equipped with its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta. Contrary to previous announcements, the service won’t utilize the futuristic Cybercab.
Initially, a small fleet (10-20 vehicles) will operate with remote human monitoring for anomaly detection and safety intervention. Testing without human safety drivers began only recently (late May), raising concerns about the limited testing period before commercial deployment.
The service will compete with established players like Waymo and Zoox, already operating in Austin. The tight deadline and limited testing window highlight the high-stakes nature of Tesla’s entry into this competitive market, where safety will be paramount for continued operation.
