From September 1, fully autonomous cars will need permits to work in Texas. This new ban has come out after the state governor, Greg Abbott, after signing the law SB 2807 The bill, which requires permission for cars on public roads without any interaction by the state’s department motor vehicles.
The new law signed with its start of Tesla Robotics service In Austin today, the invited guests had to board a completely independent model YS.

In the coming months, the new Texas law can be more than just headaches for Tesla. In addition to the permits, the incoming code allows state authorities to qualify for the permit, and demands the companies to provide police and first respondents with ways to deal with emergency cars. Although it can be a serious obstacle to Tesla, it also affects the Vimo, as it currently operates an independent ride -driven service in Austin.
