(Bloomberg) — Tesla Inc. shares surged after the automaker rolled out its long-promised driverless taxi service to a handful of riders, a modest debut for what Elon Musk sees as a transformative new business line.

Tesla’s robotaxi service is now live in Austin, Texas for the first time, with people now starting to report their experience with the service. However, the service wasn’t available to the public which may have an impact on the feedback. The only people able to take robotaxis for a spin are those invited to do so – so Tesla fans and influencers.
