00:00Tesla says it is now testing fully driverless robo-taxi vehicles in Austin, Texas, with no
00:06humans on board, according to CEO Elon Musk. The move follows months of limited robo-taxi
00:12service with safety drivers and helped push Tesla shares up 3.6% Monday, leaving the stock
00:18near record highs. While Tesla has rolled out robo-taxi-branded ride-hailing apps and
00:24expanded testing, the company has not said when it will launch a fully autonomous commercial
00:29service. Safety questions remain as Tesla has reported seven collisions in its small
00:34Austin fleet, drawing skepticism from autonomous vehicle experts despite the crashes being
00:39described as non-severe.
