Tesla FSD Is Evolving Into A De Facto Robotaxi

Article excerpt

Tesla's Full Self-Driving system completed a test drive without requiring driver intervention, blurring the line between assisted driving and fully autonomous vehicles. The technology is approaching functional parity with a true robotaxi despite still requiring a licensed driver behind the wheel for legal and safety reasons. As the system accumulates real-world driving data and improves its neural networks, Tesla edges closer to deploying genuinely driverless service. The distinction between FSD and robotaxi increasingly comes down to regulatory status rather than technical capability.
