> Elmo lies: Tesla is years (if ever) away from getting CA permits for autonomous driviing

Summary
Documenting driverless testing miles is critical for a series of permits

Tesla logged zero miles last year in California for the sixth straight year

Waymo documented 13 million miles over a decade before securing driverless ride-hailing permit

For more than a year, Elon Musk has repeatedly said Tesla (TSLA.O) is months away from launching a driverless robotaxi service in California – once state regulators give their blessing.

Tesla did nothing to secure that approval in 2025, according to previously unreported state Department of Motor Vehicles records and a state spokesperson. Tesla logged zero miles of autonomous test driving on California roads last year for the sixth year in a row, the records show.

Documenting test miles is critical in California’s regulatory system for robotaxis, which requires companies to progress through a series of permits before being allowed to operate a driverless ride-hailing service such as Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) Waymo.

…

Musk has often suggested California regulations are the main impediment to deploying robotaxis there. On an October 2024 earnings call, he said California has “quite a long regulatory approval process.”

“I’d be shocked if we don’t get approved next year,” he added, “but it’s just not something we totally control.”





It’s not just a car company, it’s not just a robot company, it’s not just a taxi company…  the real money will be SPASE DATA CENTERS!!!
