ELON MUSK CONFIRMS JUNE LAUNCH FOR ROBOTAXIS IN AUSTIN (Zero Hedge) Tesla stock is up about 2% mid-day after a mid-day interview between David Faber and Elon Musk. The Tesla CEO told CNBC that Tesla will launch robotaxis in Austin by the end of June, starting with about 10 vehicles and expanding if all goes smoothly. “It’s prudent for us to start with a small number, confirm that things are going well and then scale it up,” Musk said. The vehicles, Model Ys using an upcoming version of FSD called FSD Unsupervised, will operate without human drivers and be geofenced within Austin. Tesla staff will monitor them remotely, according to CNBC. “We’ll be watching what the cars are doing very carefully and as confidence grows, less of that will be needed,” he told Faber.
