Elon Musk claims that Tesla will launch a self -driving service in Austin in June

Tesla Elusk CEO said on Wednesday that his company will launch a paid-up-paid-up robotics robotics service using its own fleet vehicles next June-which is the latest in a long series of high promises that he has not yet met about autonomy.

MUSK lightly highlighted the light on the details. During the profit call, Musk said that there will be no drivers in cars, which will use the “non -supervision” version that has not yet been released from its full self -driving programs. He also said that he expected the non -supervising FSD program for its owners in California and “many regions of the United States” this year. Musk said that the idea of ​​adding their owners who add their cars to the Tesla fleet of horseback will not happen until next year.

Then he called the CEO in 2025, “Perhaps it was the most important year in the history of Tesla.”

Musk first disturbed the idea of ​​starting a paid self -driving service Again in October When Tesla has revealed the initial model designed for this purpose, which does not have a driving wheel or pedals. He said at the time that Tesla was looking to launch an early copy of the riding service in Texas and California in 2025 using Model Y SUVS and sedan 3.

Bloomberg news recently I mentioned Tesla was holding talks with Austin officials to achieve this. The city’s press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Musk said on Wednesday that Tesla “put our finger in the water gently, just to make sure everything is great”, but he did not provide any other details about the meaning of this. He said that Tesla tests the performance of the FSD program that is not subject to overseeing the factory land in Texas-a site that has a much less complexity than the environment in the real world.

He said: “Then, as you know, put a few toes in the water, then put a foot in the water, with the safety of the general public and those in the car as a top priority.”

Musk said that Tesla “is looking for a level of safety that exceeds the normal human driver,” but he did not specify how Tesla did this measurement.

The company has long published the so -called “Vehicle Safety Report” on its website, which participates in the number of miles that have been transferred between Autopilot accidents, a program of assistance to the less powerful drivers. The company compares this number to a total government personality for human drivers. But there are a number of problems With this comparison. Many of the driving of the automatic pilot occurs on highways, not in the surface streets. Tesla also does not provide any details about the conditions or severity of these accidents.
