Tesla not operating AV service in California, official says, Electrek reports

Tesla (TSLA) is not operating an autonomous vehicle service in California, according to the California Public Utilities Commission, Electrek’s Fred Lambert reports. Instead, its ride-hailing operation is classified as a standard limousine service and does not hold the autonomous vehicle permits required for Level 3+ systems, Lambert writes. CPUC official Pat Tsen clarified that under California’s definition, autonomous vehicles must meet SAE Level 3 capability, meaning the vehicle can operate within a defined domain without human control, and that Tesla’s system is classified as Level 2 driver assistance, which requires active human supervision and therefore does not qualify as an autonomous vehicle service under state regulations.
