（央视财经《正点财经》）据美国CNBC网站报道，当地时间15日，特斯拉公司首席执行官马斯克确认，公司已开始在无安全员情况下 测试自动驾驶出租车。受此消息拉动，特斯拉公司股价当天收盘上涨3.6%，接近一年来的高位。 转载请注明央视财经 编辑：潘煦 马斯克在社交媒体平台上确认，特斯拉公司已开始在无安全员的情况下测试自动驾驶出租车——Robotaxi，这项服务将通过相关软件唤 醒。不过，他并没有说明何时能在没有安全员或司机的情况下运营Robotaxi服务。今年6月，特斯拉在得州奥斯汀市部分地区推出了一款 Robotaxi品牌的叫车应用，不久后又在加州湾区推出了一款单独的汽车服务。但加州方面证实，特斯拉尚未申请在该州进行无人驾驶测 试所需的许可，也没有申请提供无人驾驶出租车商业服务的许可。 特斯拉提交给美国国家公路交通安全管理局的报告显示，截至10月中旬，其在奥斯汀的自动驾驶出租车共发生了7次碰撞。不过该公司 称，这些碰撞并不严重。对此专家指出，特斯拉选择在报告中隐藏所有碰撞的"叙述性描述"，因此公众无法得知每次碰撞都发生了什 么。截至10月，这一车队最多拥有30辆自动驾驶出租车。马斯克表示，计划到今年底将车队规模扩 ...
