Tesla reportedly continued Texas Robotaxi rides after its ride-hailing permit expired

RuntimeWire reports that Tesla continued taking paid Robotaxi rides in Texas after its ride-hailing permit expired August 6. It says KXAN booked a ride for a September 23 investigation. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation told KXAN a late renewal would cost $11,250; RuntimeWire says a separate driverless-vehicle authorization remained active.
