Part 2/7:
One of the critical updates from the earnings call was the imminent launch of a Robo-Taxi service in Austin, Texas by June 2024. This news was met with anticipation, as it had been expected in the second half of the year. The call was marked by enthusiastic confirmations about the nearing reality of autonomous driving, which Tesla’s head of autonomy, Ashok Elluswamy, supported by stating that thousands of vehicles are already operating autonomously without drivers present.
With the announcement of this service, there were additional hints that deployment could extend to California and possibly other states before the year concludes, further solidifying Tesla's ambition to revolutionize transportation with its autonomous vehicles.
