California regulator: Tesla not allowed to provide self-driving passenger service
The California Public Utilities Commission confirmed on the 25th that Tesla has not yet applied for the necessary licenses to operate self-driving cars. This decision essentially halted Tesla's self-driving taxi service, which was originally launched in the Bay Area of California this weekend. The California Public Utilities Commission said that Tesla has not yet received approval from the agency to provide self-driving passenger services to customers, regardless of whether they are paid or not and whether there is a human driver in the car. This means that Tesla cannot test or operate self-driving passenger services in California, and the existing license only supports the traditional taxi model.
