Tesla has broadened the testing phase of its ride-hailing application in Austin, Texas, making it accessible to employees and aiming to roll out its autonomous ride-hailing service in June. The company released a demonstration video showcasing users summoning rides via their mobile devices, with a driver in the front seat and passengers taking turns in the back. This trial serves as a crucial step in Tesla's preparations for the launch of its driverless taxi service in Austin, designed to validate the functionality of the app, driver assistance systems, and more. Initially, Tesla intends to operate with 10 to 20 vehicles, with plans to gradually scale up operations.
