Tesla has started limited operations of its self-driving taxi service in Austin. The service began Sunday and was only available to select guests and the vehicles were restricted to certain streets.
Those who received invitations to use the service were told by Tesla that safety monitors rode in the front passenger seats and the vehicles do not operate in bad weather.
Musk has told investors that people who own Teslas will be able to upgrade their cars so they can function as self-driving taxis. Tesla also plans to sell a two-door car it calls the Cybercab.
