Tesla Robotaxis has become increasingly visible on Austin roads ahead of the company’s targeted launch date of June 22nd, according to Teslarati. Social media users continue to share sightings of the driverless Model Y units, easily identified by unique decals and a conspicuously empty driver’s seat. Tesla plans to launch the Robotaxi platform in Austin before expanding to other regions, including California, where it has begun regulatory filings. The NHTSA is streamlining exemptions for driverless vehicle programs, which could help Tesla and other automakers accelerate deployment.
