What's the story
A group of Austin-based Democratic lawmakers has urged Elon Musk to postpone the launch of Tesla's robotaxi service.
The request comes amid concerns over safety and public trust in the new autonomous vehicle technology.
The legislators have suggested that the rollout be delayed until September, when new regulations for autonomous vehicles are expected to come into effect in Texas.
Concerns raised Musk has not revealed details of the robotaxi launch
So far, Tesla and Musk have remained tight-lipped about the Austin robotaxi launch.
Musk had said it would start with 10 to 20 Model Y vehicles operating in "the safest" parts of the city.
However, he hasn't revealed who the initial riders would be, how much it would cost, or how remote monitoring would work.
This lack of transparency has only added to lawmakers' concerns and sparked debate over whether the rollout is premature.
