Did Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Backfire?

Do you consider? A journey in a self-driving vehicle? After listening to something Tesla’s Robotuxi launched in Austin in Texas last monthCustomers under only half of us don’t even think about it Survey data Shared exclusively with wired.

Thirty percent of the survey respondents said they were not considering one right now. Thirty-five percent said they didn’t even listen to the Tesla Robotaxi launch, which contain only a few fists and mostly open-fourth fans for invited users. The cool reception at launch can be less than the ideal TeslaWhich holds its future in its robotics technology.

It gets worse for the electric car maker. According to a survey, which was voted for 8,000 US customers and was conducted by the Market Research Group Electric Vehicles Intelligence Report (EVIR), after reading a portion of the Wall Street Journal Coverage at Tesla Launch, 12 percent of customers were less interested in Robotaxi journey. (This section describes the service and mentioned the potential downside of Tesla’s camera-based technology.) More than half of the surveyed people said they were rarely sure that Tesla Robotaxis was safe. More than 5 percent said that they strongly believed that self-driving taxis should be illegal. (Twenty percent said they were not sure))

Tesla, which publicly broke his public relations team in 2021, did not respond to the wired request for the wire. Tesla CEO Elon musk On Wednesday afternoon, Tesla’s second-fourth-four-fourth-fourth-four-fourth-four-fourth-four-year-old investors will probably be asked about robotuxi launch and public response to it.

The company’s path-breaking approach to electric vehicles, and the technology refers to their design and production, for a long time automaker, its car and its personal leader Kasturi created an industry thunderstorm rod. For many years, the musk and the company were able to translate the flash and sound to the sky-high evaluation and appreciation. Tesla is still the most valuable car maker in the world despite accounting for only 2.5 percent of global vehicles sold last year.

However the promotion of musk in politics – including a Nazi-national salute has been executed At the opening of President Donald Trump, and a Month-long stent As The face of the so -called government skills department– Consumers’ feelings about Tesla can be transferred, especially around the former original population of rich liberals. An Evi’s survey earlier this year It has been found that Tesla is now the only EV brand with negative consumer perception. In this spring, the distribution of Tesla has decreased by 13.5 percent.

The underlying of self-driving technology, and artificial intelligence and robotics breakthroughs, it was referred to as part of Tesla’s salvation. “In fact, we should think of AI as a robotics company,” Kasturi told investors in April. “If you think Tesla is just valuable as an auto agency … it is basically the wrong structure. If no one believes Tesla is about to solve autonomy, I think I should not be an investor in their organization.” He said that working in those regions could build Tesla as “the most valuable organization in the world so far.”
