Amid apparent confirmation the company was delaying rollout of its own autonomous vehicles, California officials say it hasn’t applied for key permits
Tesla still lacks approval to operate autonomous vehicles in California amid CEO Elon Musk seemingly confirming reports saying the company had postponed its highly anticipated robotaxi launch.Both the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Department of Motor Vehicles told The Examiner on Monday that Tesla has not applied for a driverless-testing permit or a deployment permit.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared to confirm the postponement Monday in a post on X, the social-media platform he owns. Replying to a user, Musk wrote that he “requested what I think is an important design change to the front, and extra time allows us to show off a few other things.”NBC News reported in April — shortly after Musk announced plans for the Aug. 8 rollout — that Tesla hadn’t contacted state regulators.

“Tesla's trying to do all that with cameras, and it's a lot more of an estimation than the data that companies like Waymo, Cruise and Zoox are getting,” he said.
