Electric vehicle-maker Tesla is expanding its unsupervised robotaxi services in the US, with the company’s CEO Elon Musk laying out the automaker’s ambitious plans to scale up the segment.
The world’s richest person, during the Q2 earnings call with analysts, highlighted that while Tesla has ambitious goals for its robotaxi, they need to be cautious about causing any accidents or causing any harm to anyone. He noted that there are up to 40,000 automotive deaths per year in the United States alone, most of which do not generate any media attention. “But if we injure even one person, it will be worldwide headline news,” he said.
