- Tesla is moving its safety monitors to the driver's seat in its robotaxis, marking a unique approach to autonomous driving.
- Unlike Waymo, Tesla's robotaxis rely on a Level 2 driver-assistance system, requiring human intervention for corrections.
- Tesla's strategy aligns with Texas's new Senate Bill 2807, which imposes stricter regulations on truly driverless operations.
- The company circumvents new Texas regulations by designating the safety monitor as the legal driver, avoiding the need for full autonomy.
- Elon Musk's focus on innovation, despite criticism, underscores Tesla's business model and market success.
