Tesla is looking to hire a team to remotely control its 'self-driving' robotaxis (gizmodo.com)
Elon Musk has promised that his EV company Tesla will roll out “fully autonomous” vehicles in the next few years. Musk recently unveiled what he called the “Cybercab” and said that Tesla plans to launch a robotaxi service by 2026, competing with other big-name brands currently operating in the space.
