Elon Musk Hints at when Tesla Could Reduce Safety Monitors From Robotaxi
- Tesla completed the first fully autonomous delivery of a Model Y from Austin factory to a customer’s home using Robotaxi software, with no human inside or remote assistance.
- Following Tesla’s Austin Robotaxi launch in June, the company demonstrated its autonomous delivery just days before Q2 results, aiming to showcase self-driving progress and boost publicity.
- Tesla's Head of AI confirmed the Model Y navigated highways, roundabouts, and city streets for 30 minutes at up to 72 mph without human intervention, with footage demonstrating autonomous handling.
- In response to the autonomous delivery, NHTSA opened an investigation into Tesla’s Robotaxi fleet, causing Tesla stock to surge then dip amid market volatility.
- Beyond this milestone, the repeatability and scalability of Tesla’s autonomous deliveries remain uncertain compared to Waymo’s extensive operations across seven U.S. cities.
