"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."
Can’t wait to see how TSLA stocks prices will react once people realize what an amazing target Musk’s own fleet will be for vandalism and public furor:D
not to mention all the Musky Bro-Hoes getting hurt because they trusted FSD when it most definitely was not self driving.
I would not trust a robo-taxi that relies entirely on cameras. It really does need lidar/radar and other sensors to work well.
I don’t care if it has LIDAR. I wouldn’t trust a tesla.
Meep meep
It helps, but humans function without LIDAR (though it can be helpful to them too). I am confident that it is technically possible to drive with just a camera, given sufficient image processing. Is our image processing in 2025 sufficient for the task? That I don’t know.
Have you seen the recent video where a tesla fell for a wile e. coyote wall?
I got you fam, I posted a link for the person you responded to.

Wile E. Coyote…
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.”
Autonomous mobile fash cameras. What’s the worst thing that happened LOL.
The CPUC is corporate bought and paid for (e.g. NEM 3.0).
Absolute waste of space except that they’re the only speed bump to so many things. So I guess we’ve got that going for us.
