The Tesla CEO said the company expects to expand their autonomous driver service to include customer-owned cars.
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.
On Monday, Tesla posted a picture of the robotaxi's new coverage area within Austin, focusing mainly on moving north up I-35 and a wider swath of South Austin below Lady Bird Lake. And it looks like a penis. "Harder, better, faster, stronger," the company's official robotaxi account posted on X, alongside a photo of the map.
Tesla has started giving rides in driverless Model Y SUVs in Austin. Details are still sparse, but limited service is open to vetted and invited riders.
Meanwhile, another artificial intelligence (AI)-powered transportation stock has rocketed higher this year, partly due to its emerging autonomous driving business. Lately, the stock seems to go up when Tesla goes down and vice versa. Is it the ultimate threat to Tesla's autonomous driving ambitions?
