In Tesla’s latest earnings call, the company unveiled additional details about their Robotaxi service, a concept previously mentioned by CEO Elon Musk to launch on August 8th. Tesla showcased screenshots from within the Tesla app, featuring a Summon button for calling the driverless cars, a 3D map displaying route and pickup times, temperature settings inside the car, instructions for summoning the vehicle, and even details about entertainment options while on the move.

Tesla will own a portion of the fleet while the rest will be owned by general consumers who can choose to participate in this autonomous ride-sharing service. This aligns with Musk’s long-standing idea that Tesla owners can generate income when they are not using their vehicles, such as during work hours or vacations, maximizing the utility of their cars.
TLDR: Tesla reveals more about their upcoming Robotaxi service, with CEO Elon Musk outlining a model where both Tesla and individual owners can participate in an autonomous ride-sharing network for added income opportunities.
