Tesla applied for a permit with a California regulator that would allow the electric car maker to operate a ride-hailing service, Bloomberg reported. The application for the transportation charter-party permit, filed to the California Public Utilities Commission late last year, indicates Tesla would own and operate the vehicles, the report said. The application is still pending.
CEO Elon Musk has said that a Tesla robo-taxi service would be available in Austin this June. Tesla also holds a permit that allows it to test autonomous driving on California public roads with a safety driver.
