Robotaxi Rides? Would You Try Self-Driving Taxi?

Tesla plans to begin a pilot program for its “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) Model Y robotaxi in Austin on June 22. Robotaxi trials are about to begin, would you want to try a self-driving taxi? Waymo’s fares are 41% higher than Lyft’s and 31% higher than Uber’s, yet it has captured over 25% of the San Francisco market in just two years, surpassing Lyft. Why? Surveys say people love it because there’s no awkward small talk, the cars are higher quality — and no tipping needed.

I am looking forward to robotaxi. Really excited to try this new tech.

I’ve been taking autonomous robotaxi in China since last year. It is still in trial stage, so the coverage area is limited. The ride was smooth, I felt safe, the screen shows what the car ‘sees’, and it was easy to book and pay for the ride. I see the looming end for taxi drivers.

TSLA's Robotaxi Era Begins: Will This Disrupt Ride-Hailing Giants?

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) pilot kicks off June 22 in Austin, and it's more than just another test — this could be the dawn of a trillion-dollar transport disruption. Waymo already charges up to 41% more than Lyft, yet it still dominates 25% of San Francisco’s market. Now imagine what happens when Tesla — with its brand power, hardware edge, and global fleet — enters the arena. With no awkward small talk, no tipping, and cleaner rides, surveys show customers actually prefer robo-cabs. If this pilot succeeds, Tesla could: Undercut Uber/Lyft on pricing using economies of scale Monetise FSD subscriptions at global scale Spark investor FOMO like the 2020 EV boom 📈 Prediction: If early adoption is positive, expect speculative momentum on TSLA stock heading into July earnings — especially i

With introduction of RoboTaxi, we can even look forward in investing our EV vehicle to work as RoboTaxi to make some morning for the owner of the EV 😃

It’s a novelty factor. Once things become common place, if that ever happens, $ and cost will rule.

I don't mind paying a higher price for an Auto taxi ride than a normal taxi driver who may manipulate the meter reading or taking us for a longer ride.

Would definitely try robotaxi if there's an opportunity to do so. Embrace technology rather than avoid it.

Robo-Chauffeurs and the Road Ahead: Would You Hail a Driverless Future?

Robotaxis are rolling out—quietly, politely, and without asking how your day’s been. But are they worth the ride and the wager? The idea of climbing into a driverless car used to sound like a punchline from a Jetsons rerun. Now it’s just another Saturday in Silicon Valley. And this Saturday, it’s Austin’s turn. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ plans to launch its pilot Full Self-Driving (FSD) robotaxi programme there on 22 June. Would I try one? Honestly, I already trust my washing machine more than half the Uber drivers I’ve met. So yes, I’d give it a spin—especially if it doesn’t ask if I’m heading to a party. Your next ride has no driver—and no questions, either But here’s the real ride: robotaxis are no longer some distant moonshot. They're here, they’re

Autonomous taxi for sure is one of the things I would like to try. I think it will take over the market if the price is lower, that's mean sooner or later no more taxi driver needed in the future. The robotic world is coming!

🌟🌟🌟Would I Try An Autonomous Taxi? Absolutely!  The idea of hopping into a car with no driver sounds like the start of a sci-fi thriller.  Here is why : No Small Talk required.  No awkward "busy day" from the front seat.  Just me, my playlist and a robot that doesn't judge my karaoke. An autonomous taxi is smarter than your average driver as it is powered by AI that has been trained in miliions of miles of data.   It doesn't text, tailgate or take questionable shortcuts because "Waze said so". It is electric which means fewer emissions and more zen.  Plus I can finally stop pretending that I know how to parallel park. With 360 degrees sensors, radar and zero road rage, an autonomous taxi is built to avoid drama, unlike some humans I know. I might clutch

Curious to try something new and exciting but probably only one time due to high fee.

Safety risks are still a big concern, but I do see the benefits. That being said, I’d still wait until the technology is tested more and proven safe.

Pilot launch scheduled for June 22 in Austin, Texas: Invitation-only trial of ~10–20 modified Model Y vehicles, operating within geofenced zones from 6 AM–12 AM. A “safety monitor” will ride in the front passenger seat for backup . Regulatory concerns and political pressure: Texas lawmakers and NHTSA raised red flags—some even want a delay until new autonomous vehicle safety regulations in September 2025 . Teleoperation fallback: Initial rides will rely on Tesla’s teleoperation team—remote backup operators can take control if needed . --- The “vision vs execution” debate Elon Musk’s bold promises: He’s aiming for a camera-only full-self-driving (FSD) approach across privately owned Teslas, scaling robotaxi availability nationwide by late 2026—potentially millions of vehicles .
