Tesla is reportedly aiming to launch its self-driving Model Y robotaxi service in Austin this week. Here's everything to know before June 12.

Tesla faces an existential test this month as it aims to launch self-driving “robotaxis” in its home base of Austin, Texas, where public-safety officials are increasingly concerned about the state’s anti-regulation stance toward autonomous vehicles.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that Robotaxi service is "tentatively" set to begin in Austin, Texas on June 22. This comes after the company said last month that it had already begun testing driverless Model Ys in Austin.
