[Tesla to Launch Self-Driving Taxi Service Test in Texas by End of June] Despite facing safety concerns from US regulators, Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated on Tuesday that Tesla will commence testing its long-promised self-driving taxi service in Austin, Texas, as scheduled by the end of June. Musk indicated that approximately 10 self-driving taxis will be introduced in Austin, with plans to expand the fleet to around 1,000 units within a few months. "In fact, we are not deploying across the entire Austin area, but only in the safest parts," Musk said.
