Elon Musk said that Tesla plans to start a robot taxi service in Austin, Texas, around June 22. But this date could change.

Musk said on X that the date might change. He said Tesla is very careful about safety.

Investors, experts, and Tesla fans have been waiting for the driverless cars. Musk said they would start in Austin in June.

Last month, Musk said that at first, people will watch the taxis from far away. The taxis will only drive in safe parts of the city. He wants to start with about 10 taxis, then quickly add more. He plans to offer this service in Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco, and other cities.

Musk has been saying for ten years that his self-driving cars will be ready soon. Now, he really needs to deliver because Tesla is starting a self-driving taxi service. Tesla's car sales have dropped because there are more electric car companies, they are changing their popular Model Y car, and because of Musk's actions in politics.

The new robotaxi service in Austin started after Musk and President Trump had a big argument about taxes. Some people are worried that Trump might try to cause problems for the robotaxis. They think he could ask safety groups to check them very closely if anything goes wrong.
