Tesla receives ride-hailing permit in Arizona in last required step to launch robotaxi service: Tesla received a ride-hailing permit this week from Arizona regulators, opening the door for the automaker to begin operating a robotaxi service in the state.

Tesla later applied for both autonomous vehicle testing/operating with a driver and testing/operating without a driver. Tesla went through Arizona's self-certification process in September Read More |
