alt Hacker NewsNo, 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."

the number one way to get downvoted on HN is to say anything bad Elon/Tesla :)
I see for Tesla assisted driving is not equal to autonomous. I wasn't aware of that. So they are hiring people to drive them like drones.. Somebody else said this and I didn't quite understand it then.. Thanks.
