Abstract generation in progress

According to Mars Finance, on August 9, TSL has obtained a ride-hailing license in Texas, paving the way for the electric vehicle manufacturer to operate its autonomous taxi service under the state's new autonomous vehicle regulations. Tesla Robotaxi LLC is now listed as a licensed transportation network company by Texas licensing and regulatory authorities, joining the ranks of companies like Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. This license has become necessary as the new law, effective September 1, places the regulation of autonomous ride-hailing services on par with human-driven ride-hailing services. The new policy adds additional licensing, regulatory, and operational requirements for autonomous vehicle operators.

Currently, Texas law requires autonomous vehicles to be equipped with cameras, insurance, and the ability to comply with traffic rules. Tesla launched a pilot program for autonomous ride-hailing services in Austin in June, using a small number of Model Y vehicles equipped with safety monitors to provide ride services to a small group of users.
