Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com - Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) approached Arizona authorities in late October to initiate certification for an autonomous vehicle ride-sharing service, with a decision expected by month-end, according to Reuters, citing the state’s transportation department on Thursday.
"They have expressed interest in operating within the Phoenix Metro area," Arizona’s Department of Transportation told Reuters via email. The electric vehicle maker has submitted applications to test and operate vehicles both with and without human drivers.
The certification request follows Tesla’s recent launch of a limited robotaxi test program in Austin, Texas. This initial service operates with approximately a dozen vehicles, selected passengers, and numerous restrictions, including mandatory safety monitors in the front passenger seat.
Musk stated Wednesday that Tesla would extend the robotaxi service to a larger area in Austin this weekend and, pending regulatory approvals, launch in the San Francisco Bay Area within two months.
