Introduction to Tesla’s Robotaxi
The tests for Tesla’s robotaxi started in Austin, Texas on Sunday, marking the first time Tesla cars without human drivers have carried paying passengers.

Musk sees the concept as the main component of the financial future of the company and plans to provide thousands of cars that work in the United States.
Initial Tests and Setbacks
However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday that it examined the obvious mistakes. A video shows a Tesla in a left lane only on the left go straight through a crossroad, the steering wheel shakes irregularly before it briefly rejects in the wrong track.
Response from Tesla
Tesla has not yet responded to the videos. Despite the initial setbacks, the company is moving forward with its plans.
Impact on Tesla’s Stock
The Tesla shares rose by 8% on Monday when the program apparently had a good start, but they fell almost 3% back on Tuesday. The fluctuation in stock prices reflects the uncertainty and risks associated with the new technology.
