Tesla Receives Approval for Robo-Taxi Operation in California – Who Can Use It?
Details of Approval and Background
California, known as the home of robo-taxis, has granted Tesla a permit to operate a ride-hailing service. Tesla, which announced its plan to transition to robo-taxis last year, is now officially preparing for service after receiving this permit. However, this permit is currently limited to Tesla employees only, so the general public cannot yet make reservations or use the service.
Eligibility and Restrictions
With this permit, Tesla plans to operate the service for its internal employees under certain agreements. Additional approval from the California DMV will be required, so it is expected to take more time to expand full autonomous driving testing and service. Therefore, it seems that the time when ordinary consumers can freely use Tesla’s robo-taxi will be postponed somewhat.
Future Prospects of Robo-Taxi Service
Tesla’s decision, which has been preparing step by step with expectations for robo-taxi services since 2019, is expected to provide fresh stimulation to the market. As Tesla has introduced various service models through the Robo-Taxi app experience in the second quarter of last year and the ‘We, Robot’ event this year, full-scale testing will begin in 2025. As Tesla seeks to enter the global market, starting with major cities in the United States, competition in the automotive industry and autonomous driving technology is expected to intensify further.
Tesla Robo-Taxi from an Economic Perspective
This news of Tesla’s approval leads us to expect positive ripple effects across the economy.
– First, the introduction of robo-taxis is a service that combines advanced technology and innovation, which means a major leap forward in terms of ‘business.’
– Second, from an investment perspective, the autonomous driving sector remains an attractive wealth management opportunity, and some experts predict that stable revenue generation will be possible in the future through market analysis.
– Third, amidst growing economic uncertainty, new means of transportation and services can create a positive investment atmosphere throughout the market.
Tesla’s decision is attracting great attention within the industry, intertwined with key keywords such as ‘economy,’ ‘wealth management,’ ‘investment,’ ‘market analysis,’ and ‘business’ related to autonomous driving and robo-taxis. If technology innovation is accompanied by service expansion and permits are issued to the general public, the related market is expected to move more actively.
