Musk said Tesla robotaxis with unsupervised Full Self Driving technology will begin picking up fares in Austin, Texas, beginning this June. The Tesla CEO gushed over autonomous vehicle safety even as the NHTSA continues numerous probes into myriad versions of Tesla’s automated driving technologies.

The claim of the vehicles driving around, carrying passengers with no driver behind the wheel by June borders on ridiculous. The numbers just don't back it up

The robotaxi service Musk said will launch in June will likely be distinct from the purpose-built “Cybercab” vehicles that it touted at a splashy LA event in October. Tesla said at the time that it would aim to start manufacturing its Cybercab—which won’t have a steering wheel or pedals—sometime before 2027.
