"Tesla has been operating its Robotaxi platform in California for several months now, first launching it in July in the Bay Area, spanning from San Francisco to San Jose, giving those who have access to the ride-hailing suite a pretty substantial service area to travel within. However, the California operation is far from complete, as Tesla is aiming to expand to Los Angeles, a city that sits roughly seven hours south of San Francisco, but is among the most popular markets for its vehicles."
"There is a substantial difference between how Tesla operates Robotaxi in California compared to Texas, the other state that currently allows passengers to hail a ride through the Tesla Robotaxi app. In Texas, the majority of rides are considered "driverless," as there is nobody sitting in the driver's seat. This applies to any ride that does not utilize any of the Texas freeways, as highways will require a driver in the seat, something Tesla did when its geofence in Austin expanded to include interstates."
Tesla launched Robotaxi in California in July, operating between San Francisco and San Jose and providing ride-hailing access across that service area. Tesla aims to expand Robotaxi to Los Angeles and is hiring a Vehicle Operator in Marina Del Rey near LAX to serve tourist and travel hotspots. Los Angeles is a popular market for Tesla vehicles and a strong ridesharing market. Texas operations differ: most rides there are driverless with no one in the driver's seat except on highways. Highways in Texas require a driver in the seat when geofences include interstates, as in Austin.
