Tesla has recently expanded its hiring initiative for its Robotaxi program to Thailand, marking the company’s twentieth country for this endeavor. The electric vehicle giant posted two new job openings in Bangkok and Kowloon for the Vehicle Operator position, focusing on data collection. This move reflects Tesla’s ongoing efforts to penetrate new markets and broaden its reach globally.
The Vehicle Operator role in Thailand is the first of its kind in the country but joins a list of other countries where similar positions have been advertised by Tesla. The company has previously recruited for Vehicle Operator roles in countries such as the United States, India, Israel, Taiwan, Germany, and several European nations. These positions are crucial for data collection, which plays a vital role in enhancing the performance of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving technologies.
Tesla’s ride-hailing program, currently operational only in the United States in Austin, Texas, and the California Bay Area, is expected to expand further with the addition of Thailand to its list of locations for hiring Vehicle Operators. The company’s focus on data collection and real-world observations of vehicle and traffic behavior underscores its commitment to improving safety and overall performance in autonomous driving.
With the Full Self-Driving suite already available in seven countries and territories, including the U.S., Canada, and China, Tesla is keen on expanding its presence in Europe. Regulatory challenges have been a significant hurdle in launching the suite in European markets, but Tesla has been conducting extensive testing in countries like France and Spain to overcome these obstacles.
Despite facing competition in the autonomous mobility space, Tesla remains a frontrunner in developing cutting-edge technology for self-driving vehicles. The company’s aggressive hiring strategy and focus on data-driven solutions signal its determination to dominate the global autonomous mobility market. As Tesla continues to refine its FSD suite and expand its reach worldwide, it is poised to revolutionize the future of transportation.
