Elon Musk says Tesla will start a robot taxi service in Austin, Texas, on June 22.

Musk said on X that the date can change. Tesla wants to be very safe.

Many people want Tesla's self-driving cars. Musk said they will start in Austin in June.

Last month, Musk said the taxis will be watched from far away. They will only drive in safe parts of the city. He wants to start with 10 taxis. Then, he wants to have many more. He wants to use them in Los Angeles and other cities.

Musk said for many years that cars would drive themselves. Now, Tesla is starting a taxi service with cars that drive themselves. Tesla's car sales are not good. This is because other companies sell similar cars. Also, they are changing their popular car, the Model Y. And Musk is talking about politics, which also makes sales worse.

The Austin plan starts after Musk and President Trump had a big fight about taxes. Some people think Trump might be angry. He could tell the government to check the robotaxis if there are problems.
