Recently, Tesla has posted an urgent job recruitment for Robotaxi on its recruitment page in China, which has attracted widespread attention. Tesla is urgently hiring a low-voltage electrical engineer in Shanghai to design the core circuit boards for Robotaxi. These circuit boards will control all the electrical systems inside the vehicle, including motors, sensors, and LED lights.
A dedicated website for Robotaxi has also gone live. The website not only provides an app download address, but also includes important information such as a beginner's guide and operating areas. This series of preparatory work seems to indicate that Tesla plans to expand aggressively in China. Notably, at last month's China International Import Expo, Tesla first showcased its steerless Cybercab, drawing a large audience's attention.
Previously, Musk stated that the core autonomous driving technology of Robotaxi, FSD (Full Self-Driving), is expected to be officially launched in the Chinese market between February and March 2026. The approaching deadline seems to indicate that Tesla is accelerating its deployment of Robotaxi in China. Although the release of the unsupervised version of FSD is near, many people believe that the true popularization of Tesla's Robotaxi still depends on the maturity of this technology.
At the same time, Tesla is also improving the operational mechanism of Robotaxi. The new website details the precautions for passengers when using Robotaxi, including age restrictions and cleaning fees. To ensure the cleanliness of the interior, Tesla has introduced a cleaning policy, charging $50 and $150 respectively for moderate and severe stains. This practice not only maintains the cleanliness of the interior but also to some extent regulates passenger behavior, ensuring a comfortable experience for every passenger.
Finally, Tesla is actively developing wireless charging technology, aiming to provide a round-the-clock, fully automated charging solution for Robotaxi. The launch of this technology will enable Robotaxi to complete charging without human intervention, achieving true automation in operations.
As Robotaxi accelerates its layout in the Chinese market, competition in the electric vehicle industry will become increasingly fierce. Whether other automotive manufacturers can keep up with this trend remains to be seen.
