Tesla has also yet to prove that its Full Self-Driving software can be used to power a robotaxi network. While the company has been running an invite-only version of its robotaxi service in Austin since June 22, it’s been a far cry from what Musk has spent years teasing.

Elon Musk sees "rough quarters." A likely "robotaxi" launch in San Francisco comes with caveats. BYD is near a buy point.

The CPUC confirmed Friday that Tesla has not applied for the necessary authorization to operate autonomous vehicles for public passenger service-paid or unpaid-in the state. The clarification comes in direct response to reports that Tesla planned to launch its robotaxi service in the Bay Area as early as this weekend.

Tesla's Robotaxi is limited to invites only for now and there's no sure way of getting access. Some traveled thousands of miles just to try it.

Meta, Amazon and Microsoft lead an earnings wave, along with a Fed meeting and Trump tariff deadline. Tesla "robotaxis" are about to hit San Francisco, with a caveat.

Waymo’s robotaxis are fully driverless and expanding fast, while Tesla’s service is still limited and invite-only. The gap is bigger than you think.
