Tesla's job posting suggests it may enter the New York ride hailing market

According to foreign media reports, Tesla (TSLA. O) is recruiting personnel to test its driver assistance technology on the streets of New York City, indicating that the automaker may want to expand its ride hailing service to the largest metropolitan area in the United States. Tesla is seeking a driver to operate a prototype vehicle and collect data for up to 8 hours per day in a new job recruitment for its Autopilot department. This full-time position is located in Queens and requires applicants to be familiar with the auto drive system. The hourly salary may exceed $30. After launching a pilot unmanned taxi service at its headquarters in Austin, Tesla is seeking to expand the service nationwide. The company has recently launched some ride hailing services in San Francisco, with human security monitoring personnel sitting in the driver's seat, and plans to expand the service to places such as Nevada and Arizona. Although the new job posting does not explicitly state its association with the unmanned taxi business, data collection is usually the first step in launching autonomous ride hailing services.
