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 to see Tesla's robot cars. Elon 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 about 10 taxis. Then, he wants to have many more. He wants to use them in Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Francisco, and other cities.

Musk said for many years that his cars would drive themselves. Now, Tesla is starting a taxi service with these cars. Tesla is not selling many cars. 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 is also a problem.

The Austin plan starts after Musk and President Trump had a big fight about taxes. Some people think Trump might try to make problems for Musk's robot cars. He could ask the safety people to check them very carefully.
