During a recent interview with CNBC, Musk said it will be prudent for the company to be cautious in its roll-out of the system and that Tesla employees will monitor the fleet of robotaxis remotely.

Tesla will begin deploying a small fleet of robotaxis in Austin, Texas, as part of a pilot program intended to evaluate its new Unsupervised Full-Self Driving system.

Tesla's June robotaxi debut in Austin is a go, but it will be invite only, a Morgan Stanley analyst, who visited the company's Palo Alto office, said.

Elon Musk promised the June Austin Robotaxi would operate "unsupervised." New disclosures suggest that won't happen, but what will?

With any new technology or use case, there are bound to be legal cases to test and define the bounds of the law. Currently, a person in the driver’s seat of a Level 2-3 vehicle would find themselves in legal liability for a crash. However, the passenger of a Level 4 vehicle likely would not.

Waymo received approval to expand its robotaxi operations in California and will proceed methodically. The service will include more of the Bay Area, while the company also plans to eventually reach San Francisco International Airport.

Tesla plans to launch a limited robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, next month, and last week Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas, a longtime Tesla bull, met with the EV giant and received details on the plans for its autonomy push.
