Tesla to Add Taxi Mode to Its Vehicles
Tesla plans to introduce a feature allowing cars to operate as taxis, enabling owners to earn extra income by transporting passengers.
Tesla has announced the introduction of a new feature that will allow its vehicles to operate in taxi mode. Once activated, vehicles will be able to transport passengers along their routes, giving owners an opportunity to earn additional income.
The feature will be integrated into Tesla’s software and will be part of the development of autonomous driving technologies. It is planned that the car will accept ride requests via a mobile app, drive to pick up passengers, deliver them to their destination, and either return to the owner or continue servicing other orders.
Tesla is developing this functionality as part of its long-term strategy to build a network of robotaxis. Previously, the company stated its plans to create a fleet of fully autonomous vehicles capable of operating without a driver. This new feature will serve as the first step towards realizing those plans, allowing existing vehicles to be used for the service.
The system will utilize Tesla’s autopilot technology and will be available for vehicles equipped with the necessary software and hardware. Owners will be able to configure parameters such as working hours, service routes, and trip pricing.
Elon Musk has previously emphasized that developing autonomous transport networks will be a critical element of future urban mobility. Implementing taxi functionality in Tesla vehicles aligns with this strategy and aims to increase the practical value of Tesla cars for their owners.
Details regarding the launch timeline, connection conditions, and vehicle requirements will be announced later. It is expected that the new feature will enhance the attractiveness of Tesla electric vehicles and broaden personal transportation opportunities.
