Tesla Robotaxi Rides in Austin Expected to Start June 22

Elon Musk announced that Tesla's robotaxi service in Austin is tentatively scheduled to launch on June 22, with initial driverless trips planned for June 28, though safety concerns may delay the date. Tesla has been testing driverless Model Y vehicles on Austin roads, and the service will start with a small fleet of 10-20 vehicles, limited to geofenced areas, with remote monitoring. The rollout has garnered both enthusiasm and protests over safety and safety concerns.
