According to the post, Guo reportedly rode in a Tesla Robotaxi from San Francisco to the South Bay, describing the experience as seamless. She is quoted as saying that the vehicle handled the journey with “zero interventions” and called the accomplishment “game changing” for autonomous transportation.
The claim suggests significant progress for Tesla’s long-anticipated Robotaxi rollout, which CEO Elon Musk has said could usher in a new era of driverless mobility.
The remarks have sparked a wave of reactions online, ranging from enthusiasm among Tesla supporters to skepticism from autonomous-vehicle analysts and regulatory observers.
While Guo’s comments imply that Tesla may be nearing readiness for large-scale deployment, state transportation rules currently require companies to secure special permits before operating fully driverless commercial services in California. It remains unclear whether the ride occurred under a regulatory testing framework or with a safety driver present.
Tesla has not yet issued an official statement confirming the details of Guo’s test ride or clarifying the status of its Robotaxi permitting process.
Nonetheless, the viral post has reignited debate over the maturity of Tesla’s self-driving technology and raised expectations ahead of the company’s next scheduled announcement on autonomous development.
For now, Guo’s endorsement adds momentum to speculation that Tesla may be close to proving real-world viability for its Robotaxi platform — a milestone that, if confirmed, could significantly reshape the competitive landscape of autonomous mobility.
