Uber CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga said the plan extends the AV Labs programme announced in January. AV Labs currently uses a small number of sensor-equipped vehicles operated by Uber.

Tesla details robotaxi-only Supercharger buildout, barred to public

Tesla has applied for permits to build two robotaxi-only V4 Supercharger sites in Chandler and Mesa, Arizona, a first confirmed plan for charging infrastructure dedicated solely to autonomous vehicle operations. The sites would not be open to the public, unlike Tesla’s roughly 7,000 public Supercharger locations worldwide. The move follows a withdrawn February plan for a San Francisco charging hub and comes as Tesla expands robotaxi service beyond Austin.
