Tesla has not submitted the necessary permit applications to launch a robotaxi service in California, according to the state's regulatory agencies. California has a strict permitting process for companies deploying autonomous vehicles.
Elon Musk’s ambitious plans to launch a Tesla robotaxi service have hit a roadblock in California , as the state’s key regulatory agencies reveal that the company has yet to submit the necessary permit applications .that the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the California Public Utilities Commission have confirmed that Tesla has not applied for the permits required to operate a driverless car service in the state.
In a statement to NBC News, the DMV clarified, “Tesla has not applied for a deployment permit with the DMV.” The department further emphasized that if Tesla were to deploy autonomous robotaxis, it would “take steps to make certain that Tesla operates under the appropriate autonomous vehicle permits.”
The absence of permit applications raises doubts about Tesla’s readiness to launch its robotaxi service in California, a state that has been at the forefront of autonomous vehicle regulation. Industry experts, such as Brad Templeton, a consultant in the autonomous vehicle sector, have expressed skepticism about Tesla’s ability to secure regulatory approval swiftly.
The lack of communication between Tesla and California’s regulatory bodies stands in stark contrast to the company’s competitors, such as Waymo and Cruise, which have successfully navigated the state’s permitting processes to launch their own robotaxi services.
