Elon Musk has declared Tesla tentatively poised to inaugurate its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, commencing June 22nd.
Musk, via a post on his X platform, intimated that the scheduled date remained fluid, citing Tesla's "hyper-paranoid" approach to safety protocols as a potential variable.
The investor class, Wall Street analysts, and Tesla aficionados alike had been anticipating the autonomous taxi rollout with bated breath, ever since Musk's pronouncements earlier in the year, stipulating a June timeframe for the Austin-based launch of the much-vaunted robotaxi service.
During a recent interview with CNBC, Musk posited that the nascent robotaxi fleet would, in its initial operational phase, be subject to remote monitoring and rigorously geofenced within specific urban sectors deemed optimal for autonomous navigation, further articulating his expectation of commencing operations with a pilot program of approximately ten vehicles, envisaging a subsequent exponential scaling of the fleet, and ultimately extending the service to encompass metropolises such as Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco, and a panoply of other urban centers.
Si les promesses décennales de Musk concernant des véhicules intégralement autonomes, affranchis de toute intervention humaine, résonnent annuellement avec un horizon indéfiniment repoussé à « l'année prochaine », la pression s'intensifie inexorablement à l'aube du déploiement effectif d'un service de robot-taxis par Tesla, concomitamment à un fléchissement des ventes de ses véhicules électriques, imputable tant à une concurrence exacerbée qu'à la refonte imminente de son modèle phare, le Model Y, sans omettre les répercussions délétères de l'engagement politico-médiatique de son dirigeant.
L'implémentation à Austin survient concomitamment à une dispute notoire entre Musk et le président Donald Trump concernant la législation fiscale de l'administration, incitant certains analystes à conjecturer des représailles potentielles de la part de Trump, qui pourrait instrumentaliser les instances fédérales de régulation de la sécurité pour sévir au moindre accroc affectant les robotaxis.
