The service has long been gestating , with Musk first floating the idea in 2016 . One advantage the company possesses over rivals is an existing fleet of vehicles which can be given the new capabilities required through a software update . Musk was quoted by Tech- Crunch as saying : “ From our standpoint , if you fast forward a year , maybe a year and three months , but next year for sure , we ’ ll have over a million robotaxis on the road . The fleet wakes up with an over the air update ; that ’ s all it takes .”
Tesla is planning to take around 25 % of the revenue generated by the service , with the rest going to owners .
