Tesla has robotaxis clearly in mind with their technology. They made several statements about a possible taxi like service based on their cars. They think they can achieve complete autonomy with their current tech package. They also hinted that your tesla could drive itself to service appointments. I don't know whether they actually manage to pull this off, but they clearly intend to.

Having the car drive itself away is in my mind one of the most important features to get increase 100% electric market. You can have the car drive to a charger and automatically drive back once full, mitigating a shortage of charging stations as people leave their cars there long after they are charged 100%.
