Tesla considers offering robotaxis as service center loaners, app code suggests

Tesla appears to be considering providing robotaxis to customers who visit service centres for repairs, instead of conventional loaner cars. The move is not confirmed, but related items were found in the company’s latest app code. The code also references paid loaners, e-bikes and a ride-hailing option. Tesla currently offers loaners or provides Uber credits. Any rollout could depend on autonomous driving regulations and may be limited initially to areas where robotaxi operations are established.

Another lawmaker, Ahn Do-geol, called for formalising digital asset-linked products with investor protections and cited issues such as volatility, trading-hour gaps and on-chain risks. He also highlighted stablecoin legislation and plans for hearings.
