Tesla Inc. is widening access to its invitation-only Robotaxi ride-hailing pilot in the San Francisco Bay Area, according to multiple user reports and specialist media posts on 20 August. Several recipients shared screenshots showing fresh invitations to book autonomous rides, suggesting the program is moving beyond its initial test pool. Tesla has not issued a formal statement, and the company’s public relations team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The added invitations indicate the automaker is advancing toward a broader commercial rollout of its driverless service, a core part of Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s strategy to turn Tesla’s fleet into a revenue-generating network when the vehicles are not in personal use.
