With Tesla recently obtaining a ride-hailing permit in California, it seems like we're on the brink of a new chapter in the evolution of autonomous transportation. However, the fact that this permit is for an internal fleet with drivers rather than the much-anticipated robotaxi service raises some intriguing questions.
What are your thoughts on Tesla's approach to ride-hailing? Do you think starting with a driver-operated fleet is a smart move to refine their technology before fully committing to autonomous vehicles? How do you feel about the potential for a geo-fenced service similar to what Waymo is doing?
Additionally, with Elon Musk's previous claims about launching unsupervised self-driving soon, do you think this is a case of moving the goalposts, or is it a strategic step towards a more reliable autonomous system? Let's discuss the implications of this development for Tesla's future and the broader landscape of ride-hailing and autonomous driving!
