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.

Tech Insight: Why stablecoins still are not used like money despite being super infrastructure

Zach Abrams, founder and CEO of stablecoin issuer Open Standard, said stablecoins can be as stable as cash, profitable and transferable online, but are not being used effectively for transactions. He cited hurdles in card settlement, institutional trading, corporate treasury management and fintech infrastructure. Abrams said Open Standard is focused on solving these issues with OpenUSD by sharing reserve income, charging small per-transaction fees and imposing no withdrawal fee.
