Tesla Austin Robotaxi’s fleet will be fed by “ a lot of teleoperation ” because it cannot “not fuck”, according to a new report by Morgan Stanley after meeting Tesla.
You will not hear anything negative about Tesla by Morgan Stanley very often.
Morgan Stanley’s analyst Tesla, Adam Jonas has often been described as a “Pom-Pom Girl Tesla” to Wall Street for her extremely pink view of the company. He generally believes everything that Elon Musk claims and adds a slight delay in the CEO calendar.
Recently, Jonas met Tesla with certain customers and published a new note that he hinted to be based on what he learned from Tesla at the meeting.
He claims that the expected deployment “Robotaxi” in Austin next month will use “a lot of TV to ensure safety levels”:
Austin is a “Go” but the size of the fleet will be low. Think of 10 to 20 cars. Public roads. Invite only. Lots of TV to ensure safety levels (“we cannot screw up”). Always await a date.
“ Tele ops ” represents teleoperations, which means that Tesla employees will be able to access Tesla vehicles remotely and operate to a certain extent.
Last year, Shake reported that Tesla had started to hire for this teleoperation team before the launch of Robotaxi in Austin.
We have in depth returned to the quantity of Fleet de Robotaxi planned from Tesla to Austin diverges from its previously disclosed plans to deploy “the full unleassed self-commissioner” in its consumer vehicles.
Tesla plans to deploy “10-20″ model vehicles to offer redoubt services in a geosid zone in Austin, Texas, using a version of its full supervised autonomy ” (FSD), but instead of being supervised by a driver inside the vehicle, such as the current product in consumer vehicles, Tesla goes to used vehicles.
The service is expected to be launched in June.

I really don’t understand why someone could be excited about this. It will be a little better than the current FSD, which has stalled for months, because Tesla focuses on the optimization of the system for Austin, but it will always be mainly supervised – remotely.
There is a chance that he is not even distant because some people think that Tesla will even grop this chronology and use security drivers, but I don’t know. I have about 50/50 on this prediction right now.
The distant supervisors make more sense because Tesla can claim a little victory even if it would be less impressive than what Waymo has done for years.
The real objective that Tesla has sold to consumers is that their private vehicles would become autonomous without supervision and that we are still so far from that. It is clear that this project is mainly to distract them thereby.
