According to reports, Tesla is recruiting personnel to test its driving assistance technology on the streets of New York City, indicating that the car manufacturer may want to expand its ride-sharing service to the largest metropolis in the United States. In its new recruitment for the autonomous driving department, Tesla is seeking a driver to operate prototype vehicles and collect data for up to 8 hours a day. The full-time position is located in Queens and requires applicants to be familiar with autonomous driving systems, with an hourly wage potentially exceeding $30. After launching a limited pilot of unmanned taxi services in its headquarters in Austin, Tesla is looking to expand this service nationwide. The company recently launched some ride-sharing businesses in San Francisco, with human safety monitors sitting in the driver's seat, and plans to expand the service to locations such as Nevada and Arizona. Although the new recruitment information does not explicitly mention a connection to unmanned taxi services, data collection is often the first step in launching autonomous driving ride-sharing services.
