Tesla is trying to prevent the city of Austin, Texas, from releasing public records to Reuters involving the EV maker’s planned launch of self-driving robotaxis in the city this month. The news agency in February requested communications between Tesla and Austin officials over the previous two years.

A Tesla attorney said that the Reuters information request would disclose 'Tesla’s deployment procedure, process, status, and strategy,' and would thereby 'irreparably harm Tesla.'

In less than a week, people might see Tesla robotaxis riding around Austin. The company reportedly planned to launch its autonomous vehicle ride hailing service next Thursday, June 12.
