According to CNBC, Tesla is on the hunt for vehicle operators even though it hasn’t applied for a permit to test autonomous vehicles in New York. A trained safety driver is required when testing autonomous vehicles in New York, and they have to be prepared to take control of the vehicle at all times, if required.

Tesla is recruiting robotaxi test drivers in NYC, and offering from $25.25 to $30.60 per hour — with a 10% bump for afternoon and night shifts.
