Overview

• Tesla's patent details a system for sanitizing robotaxi interiors using UV light, heating plates, and disinfectant vapor.
• The technology relies on various sensors to detect environmental conditions and determine when cleaning is needed.
• The system can also autonomously drive the vehicle to a specialized cleaning station if required.
• Current human-directed cleaning methods are seen as inefficient and unreliable by Tesla.
• The patent's implementation depends on Tesla achieving fully autonomous driving technology, which remains unproven.
