Tesla teases upcoming self-driving ride-hailing services

Tesla is yet to announce the timing of the service's release.

According to reports, Tesla is said to be working on its own self-driving ride-hailing functionality.

The EV carmaker teased the ride-hailing services alongside the release of its Q1 2024 financial results via screenshots. The ride-hailing service will be positioned to rival the likes of Uber & Waymo.

The screenshots showcase the app with all the standard features available on a ride-hailing service. However, there are also a few additional features like summons, adjusting temperature and playing music, which are specific to self-driving vehicles.

Reports also confirm that Tesla will not have a separate app but rather introduce its ride-hailing functionality into the 'Tesla App' itself. The company stated, "We are currently working on ride-hailing functionality that will be available in the future. We believe the Tesla software experience is best-in-class across all our products, and plan to seamlessly layer ride-hailing into the Tesla App."

Tesla, though, is yet to announce the timing of the service's release. Company CEO Elon Musk recently took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to announce the debut of its 'Robotaxi' on August 8, 2024.
