Tesla officially opened its Robotaxi service to the public today, but there is a prerequisite: users must use an iPhone.Tesla’s Robotaxi services in Austin and the San Francisco Bay Area are launching to the public today. However, the Tesla Robotaxi APP currently only provides the iOS version, and Android phone users are not yet able to download the corresponding APP experience.
It is understood that as early as June this year, Tesla launched the Robotaxi platform to the public for the first time in Austin, Texas, USA.
Tesla uses the Model Y model for pilot operations, and only opens test drive opportunities to a small number of users participating in the "Early Experience Program".
In its initial operations, Robotaxi was very cautious and was limited to driving within a geofenced area in Austin. This area will gradually expand in the future.
To ensure safety,There is also a safety officer in each Robotaxi. The in-car cameras and microphones will be disabled during the ride, but can be enabled by passengers if support is needed.
In addition, Tesla has recently been approved to start providing self-driving online ride-hailing services in Arizona.
Musk has said that the company aims to launch an online ride-hailing service in Arizona, Nevada and Florida by the end of the year.
