Tesla is considering June 12th as a possible date to launch its robotaxi service in Austin , Texas , in just a few weeks .

CEO Elon Musk said that the company has begun to test vehicles without safety drivers.

We still know next to nothing about how this service will operate.

We know that Tesla plans to launch the service with 1020 Model Y vehicles.

The success of any public robotaxi service will ultimately come down to trust.

Public opinion polls have shown declining support for autonomous vehicles over the years and a rise in outright hostility toward the technology.

Tesla 's own brand problems come into focus.

The company is clearly struggling under the yoke of Musk and his hard turn to the right.
