Tesla launches its long-awaited robotaxis in Texas

Tesla launches robotaxi service in Austin, Texas with a small fleet of vehicles featuring human safety operators. Elon Musk praises Tesla's AI and chip design teams for the successful launch, as the company aims to compete with existing self-driving taxi operators like Waymo and Zoox. Analysts note that Tesla's success will depend on the improvement of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which has faced safety concerns and regulatory scrutiny.
