The Tesla robo-taxi launch date in Austin was supposed to be June 12th.[1] Today is June 9th. Real Soon Now. The launch date has become more vague recently.[2] That article is amusing. It mentions the Texas' weak regulation of self-driving as a big advantage for Tesla. This is opposed to California's supposedly "heavy-handed" regulation. Yet all the real self-driving companies operate in California. Only Tesla complains and goes elsewhere. There's a prediction market, if you want to bet against Tesla.[3] [1] https://teslanorth.com/2025/05/28/tesla-robotaxi-launch-date-is-june-12-in-austin-says-report/ https://teslanorth.com/2025/05/28/tesla-robotaxi-launch-date...
