Tesla wants to bring robotaxis to San Francisco. This is what is brought along the way.

Tesla is launching a uniform version of its early Robotaxi service in San Francisco this weekend, According to Business InsiderAfter an initial deployment began last month in Austin, Texas.

The company plans to send invitations to Tesla owners to test the service, according to the report.

Depending on how and if Tesla proceeds, their actions could violate state regulations, and even if there is a human security driver sitting behind the wheel while their vehicles work autonomously.

Two state agencies regulate aspects of autonomous vehicles in California. The California Motorized Vehicle Department regulates the test and deployment of autonomous vehicles, and requires permits for the three stages: tests with a driver, tests without a driver and driver implementation.

Tesla has a permission to try autonomous vehicles with a human security operator behind the steering wheel. It does not have a permission for tests or implementation without driver. And until Wednesday he had not yet requested additional permits, according to the DMV. (Mercedes-Benz, Nuro and Waymo are the only three companies that have driver-free implementation permits).

Tesla also does not have the appropriate permits of the California Public Services Commission, which regulates the commercial aspects of transport transport and rented transport by humans, as well as those led by autonomous vehicle systems.

Tesla has a transport party permit, which allows a human driver to drive a traditional vehicle (not an AV) for Charter’s services with the public, said CPUC spokeswoman, Terrie Prosper, Techcrunch in an email.

This is clearly different from an autonomous vehicle permit for passenger transport, according to Prosper. The so -called AV AUTHORIZATIONS, which Tesla does not have, allow the test and deployment of autonomous vehicles with or without driver.

Tesla has not received the approval of the CPUC to offer autonomous passengers service to customers, paid or unpaid, with or without driver (nor has the company applied), Prosper explained in the email. Tesla also does not have a “driver pilot permission” of the CPUC, so you cannot even use an autonomous vehicle with a human operator behind the steering wheel for the passenger service.

This means that if Tesla displays her robotaxis and the autonomous systems are involved, she will violate state regulations even if the trips are free and there is a human security operator behind the steering wheel.

The thrust in California comes when the DMV is trying to prevent tesla from selling vehicles in the state as part of a demand for years on the promises that the company has made about the self -control skills of its cars. Tesla is also currently in trial in a lawsuit On deaths related to the use of its less capable driver assistance system, the autopilot.

Tesla has not yet shown that its complete autonomous driving software can be used to feed a Robotaxi network. While the company has been executing a version only by invitation of its Robotaxi service in Austin since June 22, it has been far from what Musk has been making years mock.

The service is mainly limited to the Center corridors and the mains of Austin. There is a safety operator in the front passenger seat that can intervene if the car is about to do something wrong or dangerous. While the service was launched with around 10 vehicles, it is not clear how many SUV Model and are in operation in the city, nor is it clear how many times those security operators have had to intervene.

That is far from the “general solution” in which Musk said Tesla was working for a decade. Musk was so sure of autonomous software that Tesla was developing that he said he would take a car from Los Angeles to New York, a trick that never happened. Musk said this week that Tesla is also trying to expand to Florida and Arizona. Techcrunch reported earlier this month that Tesla had begun the certification process required to test and operate with and without a driver in Arizona.
