Elon Musk's Robotaxi was ready to hit the roads until a new problem came up during the launching phase. The NHTSA had to intervene and this is how it looks now.

Tesla officially launched its first robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, inviting select passengers to participate in trial rides, marking what CEO Elon Musk called the company's entry into the commercial era of fully autonomous driving.

I watched over two hours of footage of Tesla's robotaxi service: I saw an Uber-like app experience, the in-car interface, and miles of Austin streets.
