The company has not yet confirmed the official date to the press. However, CEO Elon Musk in an interview last week shared that Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) was on schedule to launch robotaxi trials in Austin, Texas, by the end of June.

The EV maker will begin the trials with 10 self-driving cars in safer parts of Austin with geofencing and scale up to a thousand within a few months if the launch goes well without any incidents.

A successful trial is vital for Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) as the company has been promising investors and customers since 2016 about delivering a safe, self-driving car that does not require human supervision.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s shares have gained 4% over the past week after Musk said he was back to working 24/7 at his companies, alleviating concerns among some investors about his commitment to Tesla because of political engagements.
