Elon Musk Hired a Dozen Texas Lobbyists This Year. State Law Keeps the Extent of Their Influence Under Wraps.
Musk, the billionaire businessman behind Tesla and SpaceX, influenced several new Texas laws this year. How his lobbyists came about these wins, however, is more of a mystery.

The problem is the refusal to admit AI isn't ready for uses such as "driving". AI isn't sophisticated enough to encompass all the possibilities a human can handle. I've worked for decades as a computer programmer/analyst. I would not trust self driving vehicles yet. Public testing is pushing it.

Tesla scales back Robotaxi fleet goal in Austin
The Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin has only about 30 Model Ys in use. When we compare 60 vehicles to the 500 cars promised just weeks ago, the difference is huge. Tesla will miss its year-end goal by almost 90%.

The announced doubling of the Tesla Robotaxi fleet in Austin only brings the total number of supervised EVs to about 60, a massive shortfall from the 500 vehicles the company promised just weeks ago.
