Tesla to Let Owners Add Cars to Robotaxi Fleet Next Year

Tesla announced during its third-quarter earnings call that starting next year, vehicle owners will be able to include their cars in the company's robotaxi fleet. This update marks a significant step toward Elon Musk's vision of unsupervised autonomous driving.

Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's Vice President for Autonomous Driving, confirmed the timeline but did not provide specific details about the launch. The move aims to expand Tesla's robotaxi network by involving more vehicles.

For years, Tesla has promised this feature, which would allow owners to earn income by sharing their cars when not in use. The company’s announcement suggests progress toward making autonomous ride-sharing more accessible.
