Elon Musk said Austin residents will be able to pay for a fully autonomous Tesla robotaxi ride in June, with an expansion to more US cities planned.

While the initial testing will use Tesla's own fleet of cars, regular customers may be able to add their cars to the ride-hailing fleet next year, Musk says.

Elon Musk claimed this week that Tesla robotaxi's will hit the roads this summer however skepticism from industry experts and analysts is high.
