A mannequin simulating a child crossing the street to board a school bus was crushed over and over again by a Tesla equipped with a self-driving feature on Thursday—safety advocates' latest warning of weaknesses in the automaker's tech as it prepares to launch robotaxis on Austin roads.

A Tesla robotaxi driving without a human driver has been spotted on the streets of Austin, according to a video posted on X and reshared by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

Tesla investors seem willing to trade a delay in the company’s robotaxi pilot program for the hope that Elon Musk is working his way back into the Trump administration’s good graces.

Tesla is "tentatively" aiming to begin its robotaxi service in Austin on June 22. But leading up to the launch, residents in Southeast Austin are noticing some strange activity from the vehicles.
