World's first autonomous delivery of a car! This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner pic.twitter.com/WFSIaEU6Oq : Tesla Robotaxi pilot hits the streets of Austin According to Musk, each ride costs a flat fee of $4.20. The test runs, which began on Sunday, are being closely monitored as part of Tesla’s initial evaluation phase. Service may be paused during bad weather. With this launch, Tesla enters direct competition with Alphabet-owned Waymo, which already operates commercial robotaxi services in multiple US cities. The pilot is Tesla’s latest attempt to prove the real-world viability of full self-driving, a space where many efforts have struggled due to safety and regulatory concerns. Meanwhile, Tesla executive and longtime Elon Musk confidant Omead Afshar has left the company, Bloomberg reported, citing three people familiar with the matter. Afshar had been part of the CEO's office and, since last year, oversaw sales and manufacturing in Europe and North America. He joined Tesla in 2017 and quickly became one of Musk's closest lieutenants, playing a key role in projects like the Texas Gigafactory.
