# Tesla is asked to delay Robotaxi launch in Austin by Texas lawmakers

> Texas lawmakers have requested Tesla to postpone its Robotaxi launch in Austin by a few months due to a new law. The launch, initially set for June 22, is seen as a shift in Tesla's timeline. CEO Elon Musk has referred to the upcoming launch as "not really self-driving," using this strategy to frame it as a success in autonomous driving despite past delays and unmet expectations.

Texas lawmakers have officially requested that Tesla delay its planned Robotaxi launch in Austin by a few months due to a new law being implemented.

It’s a Godsend for Elon Musk.

As we previously reported, Tesla’s planned Robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, now “tentatively” scheduled for June 22, is a moving of the goal post for Tesla.

CEO Elon Musk himself has previously described what Tesla plans to launch as “not really self-driving”, but the CEO is using the new strategy as a way to claim a win in autonomous driving after years of missed deadlines and failed promises.
