Tesla Robotaxi Pilot Launch Insights
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) launched a pilot program for its long-awaited robotaxi service in June 2023, using only 10 to 20 vehicles and requiring a company employee to be present in each car. The initial reviews were mixed, with some praising its smooth operation and others reporting issues, including incorrect lane usage.
However, a recent survey by the American Automobile Association (AAA) revealed that 87% of drivers are either unsure or afraid of self-driving vehicles, a significant increase in skepticism compared to four years ago. This sentiment may pose challenges for Tesla’s ambitious plans to pivot towards robotics and AI-driven services amidst growing consumer mistrust.
