特斯拉在旧金山机器人出租车启动面临监管障碍

摘要

特斯拉正准备在旧金山推出有限的机器人出租车服务,配备人工安全驾驶员,但缺乏加州监管机构要求的自动驾驶乘客运输关键许可。

特斯拉计划本周末将其早期机器人出租车服务扩展到旧金山,此前已在德克萨斯州奥斯汀进行了有限试点。公司计划邀请部分特斯拉车主参与测试,每辆车均配备一名人工安全驾驶员。

然而,特斯拉目前尚未获得加州监管机构颁发的运营自动驾驶乘客服务所需的相关许可,即使车辆配备了安全驾驶员。加州机动车辆管理局(DMV)要求对自动驾驶车辆的测试和部署持有特定许可,截至周三,特斯拉尚未申请除现有带人工驾驶员测试许可之外的其他许可。目前,只有梅赛德斯-奔驰、Nuro和Waymo获得了该州无人驾驶部署许可。

负责监管商业网约车和包车运输的加州公共事业委员会(CPUC)确认,特斯拉仅持有运输包车许可证。该许可证允许传统的有人驾驶包车服务,不适用于自动驾驶车辆运营。CPUC发言人Terrie Prosper在电子邮件中表示,特斯拉尚未获得提供自动驾驶乘客服务(无论是否收费)的批准,也未申请所需的授权。Prosper补充称,特斯拉不持有带驾驶员的自动驾驶车辆试点许可,而该许可即使在配备人工操作员的自动驾驶车辆中提供乘客服务时也是必需的。

如果特斯拉在旧金山使用自动驾驶系统推进机器人出租车服务,无论是否免费或由安全驾驶员监督,都将违反州法规。此举正值DMV与特斯拉就其车辆自动驾驶能力的声明展开法律争议之际,同时公司还面临与其自动辅助驾驶系统Autopilot相关的持续诉讼。

特斯拉尚未证明其全自动驾驶软件能够支持大规模机器人出租车网络。目前在奥斯汀的试点范围仍有限,且需要安全操作员在必要时介入。首席执行官埃隆·马斯克表示计划将机器人出租车测试扩展至佛罗里达和亚利桑那州,据报道,公司已开始在亚利桑那州进行认证流程。
