Tesla has spent a year building up hype around its "Robotaxi" service. They "expanded" in several cities, they made a specialized shiny car model for it. Tesla fans are acting as if self-driving has been solved a long time ago (it hasn't).
Currently, the service is operating 8 (e-i-g-h-t) cars in Austin. That's all they managed to achieve.
