Tesla is set to revolutionize the taxi industry with its proposed "next-generation" driverless taxi service, according to recent reports. The company has been actively working on securing the necessary permits to operate autonomous electric vehicles for passenger transport in California. Late last year, Tesla submitted a card permit application to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), seeking approval to carry passengers in its self-driving vehicles. This move marks a significant step toward realizing Tesla's vision of a fully autonomous ride-hailing service.

In November, a CPUC official reached out to Tesla via email to discuss the next steps for the company's robotaxi proposal, as reported by the Washington Post. The email, obtained by the Post, highlights the ongoing dialogue between Tesla and regulatory authorities. A CPUC spokesperson confirmed that Tesla's permit application is currently under review, indicating that the company is making progress toward launching its service. Tesla already holds approval to test driverless vehicles in California, but only with a human driver present. The new permit would allow Tesla to operate fully autonomous vehicles for public use, accepting ride requests from users.
The proposed service aims to eliminate the need for human drivers, offering passengers a futuristic and efficient mode of transportation. By leveraging its advanced self-driving technology, Tesla hopes to set a new standard for urban mobility. While the exact launch date remains undisclosed, the company's efforts to secure regulatory approval suggest that the service could debut in the near future. This initiative aligns with Tesla's broader mission to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy and innovative transportation solutions.
