"Tesla secured a series of approvals from California required for a promised robotaxi service.
The California Public Utilities Commission said it approved Tesla’s application for a transportation charter-party carrier permit, a license typically associated with chauffeur-operated services, allowing the company to own and control a fleet of vehicles and transport employees on pre-arranged trips.
The permit is a prerequisite for applying to operate an autonomous ride-hailing service in California, but a CPUC spokesperson said the current permit “does not authorize them to provide rides” in autonomous vehicles, and does not allow Tesla to operate a ride-hailing service to the public."
Call for an uber, driverless tesla pulls up. Call a tow truck, don’t cancel the order. “Yeah hi, thanks for showing up. Yeah I dunno, it just pulled up here and it’s blocking my driveway.”
No, don’t so that. Without cancelling, it looks intentional.
Call uber, but put traffic cones everywhere. Cancel because it can’t make it. Call tow truck to report stuck Tesla.
These things will drive thru walls, deer and all sorts of things. I am not sure putting cones up everywhere will have any effect.
Not just deer. Cyclists too.
