Are Tesla Robotaxis truly autonomous in nature? According to a new update, Tesla has officially acknowledged that its robotaxis are not always fully autonomous and can occasionally be driven by remote human operators in rare situations.

The revelation was made in a formal letter to US Democratic Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts during an ongoing investigation that’s looking into remote assistance practices used by autonomous vehicle companies. According to the disclosure, Tesla’s remote operators are authorised to “temporarily assume direct vehicle control” as a last resort after all other intervention options fail.
