At present, only 20 vehicles will serve
The Tesla model Y vehicles are being used in this service, which has a “robotaxi” badge. Initially, Tesla has launched only 20 vehicles on the streets. Tesla has updated the model Y and these electric vehicles will run in a special geooftened area.

Companies like Jukes are also making entirely driverless vehicles, which do not even have steering wheels and pedals.
Tesla working on two more projects
