Tesla plans to launch Robotaxis in San Francisco this weekend
Tesla is preparing to launch its robotaxi service in San Francisco as soon as this weekend, Business Insider reported on Friday, citing an internal staff memo. The company's robotaxi business is still in its early stages, having only conducted a controlled test run in Austin, Texas, earlier this year. The geofenced area where the robotaxi service will operate covers a large swath of the Bay Area, including Marin, much of the East Bay, San Francisco and stretching south to San Jose, the report said. The launch timeline has been moved up to as early as Friday and some Tesla owners will receive invites to use the service, according to the report. CEO Elon Musk has shifted Tesla's focus toward robots and self-driving taxis to counter declining sales for the electric automaker's aging vehicle lineup. Meanwhile, The Information reported that Tesla is well behind the pace necessary to meet Musk's goal of producing at least 5,000 of its Optimus humanoid robots this year, having made only a few hundred of them. Reuters could not independently verify the Business Insider and Information reports, while Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the reports. During the earnings call this week, Musk said Tesla is getting regulatory permission to launch robotaxis in several states, including California, Nevada, Arizona and Florida. California regulators told Reuters on Wednesday Tesla had not yet applied for permits needed to pick up and charge passengers for rides in fully autonomous vehicles. Companies need a series of permits from the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the California Public Utilities Commission to test and deploy autonomous vehicles in the state. The DMV and CPUC did not respond to requests for comment. Regulatory hurdles pose a challenge to Tesla as it must gain the trust of safety officials before launching fully autonomous services. (

Dutch regulator delays Apple ruling amid EU talks on App Store: Report
Dutch antitrust watchdog, the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), has delayed its decision on Apple over fees charged to dating app providers on the App Store. According to a report by news agency Reuters, the regulator said that it is waiting for the outcome of ongoing discussions between Apple and the European Commission on a similar issue before moving forward. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to ACM, Apple recently changed its fee structure in response to those talks and has said it plans to make further adjustments later this year. The regulator had previously ruled that Apple abused its dominant market position by imposing unfair conditions on dating app developers. That decision was upheld by a Dutch court in June, which found that the company's practices in the App Store violated competition laws. The ACM has not provided a new timeline for its final ruling. The ongoing talks between Apple and the European Commission are expected to influence how both EU and national regulators handle competition issues related to the App Store in the future. In a related news, Reuters recently reported that Apple's updates to its App Store rules and fees are likely to get approval from EU antitrust regulators soon. Citing people familiar with the matter, the report said that this could help the Cupertino-based company avoid large daily fines. Last month, the iPhone maker said that developers will soon be required to pay a 20% processing fee for purchases made via the App Store. For Apple's small-business program, the fees could go as low as 13%.
