Tesla has received approval to test its autonomous robotaxis with safety monitors in Arizona, the state’s transportation department confirmed on Friday.
The company, which applied in June for a permit, will begin trials in the Phoenix Metro area using safety drivers. Tesla previously launched a small pilot in Austin, Texas, in June with about a dozen vehicles and limited operations, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.
CEO Elon Musk has said Tesla aims to roll out an autonomous ride-hailing service covering about half of the U.S. population by the end of 2025.
It remains unclear when the Arizona trials will begin or how long they will run.
