They are trying to use it as taxi.. are they blocking the features in order to use it for taxis only?

No, they have remote drivers for their "autonomous" taxis.

In other words, they're not really "autonomous". And they don't operate at night --- probably not in bad weather either --- or when communications are unavailable.

"Tesla is the only autonomous vehicle company in the United States that permits its remote operators to directly steer, accelerate, and brake vehicles on public roads."
