Tesla plans to launch an unmanned taxi service in New York. This was announced by CNBC.
On the official website of Tesla appeared vacancies for drivers who will take over passenger transportation and collecting data for training in unmanned vehicles. The place of work is proposed by the district district in New York. Previously, a similar vacancy was placed for the Brooklyn area.
According to preliminary data, Tesla intends to launch a taxi service in New York with the presence of a driver while driving. New York legislation requires that when testing or operating unmanned vehicles, a person must be present at the wheel. In addition, the operation of unmanned vehicles requires the receipt of appropriate permission from local authorities. The representative of the New York Transport Department confirmed CNBC that Tesla had not yet applied for such permission.
Perhaps Tesla’s rush is due to the fact that another leading player in the field of Robotax in North America, Waymo, also plans to start testing unmanned cars in New York. Unlike Tesla, her competitor submitted an application.
