Weeks after investors slammed Tesla for a splashy robotaxi event that was light on details, Tesla executives divulged key details Wednesday about the planned autonomous ride-hailing service—including revealing that the company is already testing the service with its employees in the San Francisco area.
“For Tesla employees in the Bay Area, we already are offering a ride-hailing capability,” Musk said on the company’s third-quarter earnings call on Wednesday. “With the development app, you can request a ride, and it’ll take you anywhere in the Bay Area,” he said, noting that these employee test rides include safety drivers.
