Tesla has officially launched its long-awaited robotaxi service in Austin, drawing significant attention from federal safety regulators due to various incidents and safety concerns that have emerged. While the company celebrated initial stock surges and reported the debut of its robotaxi app, videos surfaced showing robotaxis speeding and operating inappropriately, which raised alarms from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Despite these bumps, Tesla aims to keep the initial rollout limited, focusing on specific areas and implementing a safety monitor in the passenger seat. As discussions about the future of autonomous vehicles heat up, analysts speculate on the potential market impact and how Tesla will navigate regulatory challenges moving forward.
