Musk said in a social media post this week that Tesla’s long-awaited robotaxi service will roll onto the streets of Austin, Texas on June 22. The Tesla CEO is betting the company’s future on autonomous vehicles (AV) and a robotaxi service – which will hopefully inject much-needed cash just as the company’s sales and profits are slumping.

So, Musk has trundled back to focusing on Tesla in an effort to straighten the stock market picture frame on the wall, and his Robotaxi project is now expected to launch this month. After six years of promises, Musk says the self-driving cars will roll out onto the streets of Austin, Texas, on 22 June.
