Tesla's robotaxi service hits bumpy road with self-driving cars

Technology

Tesla's new Robotaxi service, which rolled out in Austin this June, is running into some real-world problems.

This gap between what Tesla promises and what's actually happening shows just how tricky it is to launch truly autonomous taxis when strict rules are in play.
