Tesla wants to bring its robotaxi service to new markets, including cities in Florida, Nevada, Arizona, and California, Elon Musk said in an earnings call Wednesday.
And our naysayers are sitting there with egg on their face.”It was another sign that Musk wasn’t going to let the limitations of his company’s autonomous driving technology stand in the way of its rapid expansion.
Musk also cited “regulatory approvals” as possible obstacles to the fruition of his robotaxi dreams.
Some states require companies obtain permits before rolling out autonomous vehicles for ridehailing purposes.
But now it seems that millions of Tesla owners are likely to be completely left out of that future.
