Major blow to Elon Musk as billionaire could be forced to cancel long-awaited dream

Elon Musk's Tesla plans to roll-out self-driving'robotaxis' in just a few weeks, but auto safety officials may force the billionaire to cancel his long-awaited dream Tesla was set to launch the service next month in Austin, Texas, unleashing taxis powered by its Full Self-Driving (FSD) program. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently caught wind of Musk's upcoming rollout and sent the company a letter to gather additional information. The NHTSA wants to ' understand how Tesla plans to evaluate its vehicles and driving automation technologies for use on public roads' before the robotaxis are unleashed on busy Austin streets. The agency highlighted its investigations into four crashes and a pedestrian linked to Tesla's FDS. The blow has led to Musk's critics suggesting he will have to put a pin in his plans.
