00:00Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the company's first fleet of robo-taxis are tentatively ready to roll later in June.
00:07Musk announced the initiative is slated to launch on June 22nd in Austin, Texas, with the first rides coming on the 28th.
00:14But Musk also noted that safety will be put above all else, saying we are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift.
00:22The world's richest man recently told CNBC that the rollout will start small, with only 10 to 20 robo-taxis using Tesla's full self-driving capabilities.
00:32Additionally, Tesla plans to use the Model Y and not its freshly unveiled CyberCab that is slated to go into production sometime in 2026.
00:41However, Tesla will also be facing pushback on the day the robo-taxis hit the streets of Austin.
00:46Several anti-Musk activist groups plan to protest and host demonstrations to highlight safety issues associated with EVs, as well as Tesla's self-driving and autopilot technologies.
00:59That'll do it for your daily briefing.
