June 11, 2025 at 08:56 by More: Protesters Torch Robotaxis As Cybertruck Spins Through LA Chaos Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, have both pointed to June as an important month. It’s when driverless robotaxis are set to head out onto public roads. In May, we learned that Tesla would launch the program with 10-20 cars and that they’d be geo-fenced the same way Waymo cars are. What we didn’t know for sure was when they’d first be on the road. Now, we know that day has come and gone. An X user spotted one on June 10 and posted a video of it. The short 10-second clip doesn’t show much, but it’s more than enough to confirm that this is indeed a driverless Tesla. The car is driving off of Congress Ave and turning onto West James Street. Before doing so, it stops and allows pedestrians to cross the road. Then, once the road is clear, it continues on, and we see very clearly that nobody is in the front seat. Could this be a particularly relaxed Tesla owner with a wild trust in Autopilot? Seems unlikely, for a few reasons. First, the car has a Robotaxi decal near the front door, clearly marking it as part of the program. Second, another Model Y is trailing it closely, probably with a Tesla employee onboard to monitor the situation. And finally, this timing aligns perfectly with what Tesla’s been saying all along that June was the target month.
