Tesla Inc. is poised to begin its long-awaited robotaxi service in Austin on June 12, according to a person familiar with the matter, a milestone in Elon Musk’s plan to reshape the company around driverless vehicles and artificial intelligence.
The previously unreported date was discussed internally and could still change, said the person, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Musk has previously said the service would begin by the end of June.
In preparation for the launch, the company this week operated a test vehicle on public roads in Austin with no one in the driver’s seat for the first time, according to the person. A Tesla engineer was riding in a passenger seat of a Model Y SUV, which drove autonomously with no remote operation, the person said.
