"Tesla secured a series of approvals from California required for a promised robotaxi service.
The California Public Utilities Commission said it approved Tesla’s application for a transportation charter-party carrier permit, a license typically associated with chauffeur-operated services, allowing the company to own and control a fleet of vehicles and transport employees on pre-arranged trips.
The permit is a prerequisite for applying to operate an autonomous ride-hailing service in California, but a CPUC spokesperson said the current permit “does not authorize them to provide rides” in autonomous vehicles, and does not allow Tesla to operate a ride-hailing service to the public."
Can’t wait to see how TSLA stocks prices will react once people realize what an amazing target Musk’s own fleet will be for vandalism and public furor:D
not to mention all the Musky Bro-Hoes getting hurt because they trusted FSD when it most definitely was not self driving.
Call for an uber, driverless tesla pulls up. Call a tow truck, don’t cancel the order. “Yeah hi, thanks for showing up. Yeah I dunno, it just pulled up here and it’s blocking my driveway.”
No, don’t so that. Without cancelling, it looks intentional.
Call uber, but put traffic cones everywhere. Cancel because it can’t make it. Call tow truck to report stuck Tesla.
Go watch Mark Robers video driving through a wall and tell me how you feel
Are there a lot of fake painted walls in California?
No, but sense of depth for collision detection feels like bare minimum in 2025.
There will be.
There is fog and rain, which it also failed at.
Also, their cameras have missed light colored trailers, mistaking them for sky. So it doesn’t take much to be like the fake painted wall.
Lmao the point is not the wall, the point is the inadequate tech
You should definitely ride in Teslas autonomous taxis if they are ever made.
The CPUC is corporate bought and paid for (e.g. NEM 3.0).
Absolute waste of space except that they’re the only speed bump to so many things. So I guess we’ve got that going for us.
And now we have the “Wile E. Coyote carrier permit”…
Autonomous mobile fash cameras. What’s the worst thing that happened LOL.
Cash sales of ski masks are going to spike.
Tesla fleet vs cones
They really want to make me afraid to leave my home.
