Elon Musk is eyeing San Francisco as the next city for Tesla’s robotaxi rollout, but regulatory hurdles loom large. While Tesla recently secured a ride-hail permit from the CPUC, it still lacks key DMV permits needed to operate a commercial robotaxi service. Unlike Texas, where regulations are minimal, California requires extensive approvals and data reporting. Tesla has increased its test fleet and drivers in the state, but past issues—like lack of disengagement data and safety concerns—could slow its progress.
