Tesla shares jumped by more than 9% after the manufacturer of electric cars began testing the long -awaited automated taxi service, which is a major step towards proving the technology event that CEO Elon Musk has always been promoted for years as a basic factor in its high evaluation.
Tesla shares rise after the first trial of an automatic taxi in Texas
According to Reuters, the auto manufacturer published a small fleet of self -driving taxis in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, recording the first time that its cars transported taxi passengers without human drivers, and the flights were offered for a fixed fee of $ 4.20 in a limited area.
The success of the experiment is very important for Tesla, as it turned the company’s mask towards self -driving cars and robots, pending its plans to control the electric car market on a large scale with the intensification of Chinese competition and the slowdown in its old models.
Tesla informed the American regulatory authorities on Monday that their answers regarding the safety of deployment of automatic taxis are confidential and should not be published, after the National Road Traffic Safety Administration announced that it is reviewing the answers presented in response to its questions about the safety of automatic taxis in bad weather, among many other issues.
