Meta, Amazon and Microsoft lead an earnings wave, along with a Fed meeting and Trump tariff deadline. Tesla "robotaxis" are about to hit San Francisco, with a caveat.

The electric carmaker informed California that it will operate a limited public taxi service. But it’s not legally allowed to do this with self-driving cars.

Tesla is launching an even-more-limited version of its early robotaxi service in San Francisco this weekend, according to Business Insider, after an initial rollout began last month in Austin, Texas. The company plans to send invites to Tesla owners to test the service, according to the report.
