Tesla Inc. Robotaxis
After the close on Friday, Musk tweeted “Tesla TSLA Robotaxi unveil on 8/8.” Musk did not provide any clarification or details. Musk is known for cryptic tweets.
He often sets aggressive targets that are often late by years. Based on Musk's history, even if he unveils Tesla Robotaxis in August, robotaxis may not become commonplace for a long time.
Regulatory Issues
Robotaxis are not entirely in Musk's hands. There are serious regulatory issues. The government often lags behind technology.
