About 10 Tesla cars are involved in the test, each of which transports passengers in the front seat under the supervision of a “safety monitor” in the form of a person.
At the start of the service is only available by invitation. Unfortunately, the company has not yet announced the date of general launch of the service.
Video trips are already spreading on social networks influenzers. For example, Blogger Sawyer Merritt showed how he called robotsi because of a special Tesla application and reached the restaurant. The price of the trip was a symbolic $ 4.20.
Experts say that even in the case of Tesla technical success, serious calls are waiting in front. According to Reuters, referring to the words of Professor Carnegie-Mellon Philip Kupman, the development of a robotscy market in the United States can last for years or even decades. Kupman emphasizes that launching the test is only an “end”.
On the eve of testing in Texas, a new law was adopted to regulate autonomous transport. The law signed by the Governor-Republican Grege Ebbott will come into force on September 1 and requires companies to receive special permits for the operation of unmanned transport. It also allows the authorities to cancel permits in case of security threat and requires instructions for rescue services for working with autonomous cars.
In addition, cars must have at least a fourth level of autonomy – that is, be able to move without a driver under certain conditions. Tesla said she wants to make the service safe: cars will only work in some areas, avoid difficult solutions, will not transport passengers under 18 years of age and will not leave in bad weather.
Tesla also stands out against competitors, such as Waymo or Cruise, because it only counts on cameras without expensive Lidar or Radar systems. Musk believes that this approach reduces costs and at the same time provides safety. But this causes discussions, as most companies in this area add several types of sensors for reliability.
Therefore, launching robots in Texas is an important but only initial step. Tesla still has to solve many technical, legal and commercial problems before autonomous transport will become a common occurrence.
