Tesla is preparing to launch its first fleet of fully driverless "robotaxis" in Austin as early as next week.

The tentative launch date is Sunday, June 22, according to CEO Elon Musk, who said the service will begin with about ten vehicles operating in geofenced areas of Austin and monitored remotely.
