Quick summary
Tesla has launched a ride-hailing service in San Francisco, but doesn't have permission to run an autonomous taxi service.
While you'll be able to hail a Tesla through the service, there will be a driver behind the wheel.
Elon Musk first proposed a robotaxi service comprised of self-driving Teslas in 2022 and the roll-out of that service has been a little more complicated than anticipated. While first given a launch date of August 2024, it was June 2025 when robotaxi started operating.
