• Tesla has been building modified Model Ys for its Robotaxi program, sources told BI.
• The project is referred to internally as "Halo" and involves cars with self-cleaning cameras and telecommunication units.
• Tesla's Robotaxi service launched in Austin with a geofenced area and in-vehicle safety monitors.
Inside Tesla's Austin factory, employees have built modified Model Ys for the company's high-stakes Robotaxi program, sources with knowledge of the matter told Business Insider.
The project, internally referred to as "Halo," involves cars with slightly different parts than the Model Ys that consumers can buy, the insiders said.
Among other things, the Halo vehicles have self-cleaning cameras and extra protection for the cameras to prevent damage and debris, one person said.
The vehicles also have a second telecommunications unit in addition to the unit normally built into the Model Y, one person said. The units provide GPS coordinates for the vehicle and allow it to connect with remote operators.
Elon Musk told investors during the company's earnings call in April that Tesla would use remote operators who could intervene in the event of an emergency.
Al engineering lead Srihari Sampathkumar posted a picture that appeared to show desks with steering wheels at Tesla's offices on Sunday.
Tesla plans to incorporate the Halo vehicles into its fleet later this year, sources with knowledge of the matter said. For its June 22 launch, Musk's automaker used Model Ys with self-cleaning cameras, as spotted by some observers on social media. Earlier this year, Tesla said on X it was working on a solution to keeping its cameras clean. |
