Tesla has begun the rollout of its robotaxi service in Austin, providing early access rides to select users, mostly Tesla fans and shareholders. The app draws resemblance to established services like Uber, featuring a clear interface and a flat fee of $4.20 per ride. However, service is currently limited to a specified geofenced area of Austin, reducing operational range compared to competitors. Each ride includes a human supervisor to ensure safety, although significant interventions were not observed during the initial footage reviews of the service.
The Tesla robotaxi app mimics popular ride-hailing services, offering easy navigation and a direct pricing model; however, it is currently limited to a specific zone.
Early access rides feature human operators as monitors rather than fully autonomous experiences, ensuring safety and responsiveness during the rides.
