Tesla has started giving rides in driverless Model Y SUVs in Austin. Details are still sparse, but limited service is open to vetted and invited riders.

I watched over two hours of footage of Tesla's robotaxi service: I saw an Uber-like app experience, the in-car interface, and miles of Austin streets.

Tesla's long-promised venture into autonomous taxi service finally arrived over the weekend, as the streets of Austin, Texas, officially became a proving ground for the company's new Robotaxi ride-hailing service.
