Tesla plans to expand chartered transport service, California regulator says
The permit does not allow the company to run vehicles autonomously, the California Public Utilities Commission said.
The update follows a report that Tesla was preparing to roll out robotaxis in the Bay Area with a safety driver as soon as this weekend.
"Tesla is not allowed to test or transport the public (paid or unpaid) in an AV with or without a driver," the CPUC said in an email to Reuters.

Trump says he could impose more tariffs on China, similar to India duties, over Russian oil
WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he could announce further tariffs on China similar to the 25% duties announced earlier on India over its purchases of Russian oil, depending on what happens. "Could happen," Trump told reporters, after saying he expected to announce more secondary sanctions aimed at pressuring Russia to end its war in Ukraine. He gave no further details. "It may happen ... I can't tell you yet," Trump said. "We did it with India. We're doing it probably with a couple of others. One of them could be China." Trump on Wednesday imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, on top of a 25% tariff announced previously, citing its continued purchases of Russian oil. The White House order did not mention China, which is another big purchaser of Russian oil. Last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned China that it could also face new tariffs if it continued buying Russian oil.

Activist investor Starboard builds over 9% stake in Rogers
Aug 6 (Reuters) - Activist investor Starboard Value said on Wednesday it has built a 9.3% stake in Rogers Corp (ROG.N), opens new tab as it seeks to push for changes at the advanced materials maker. Shares of Rogers were up 10% in extended trade. However, the stock has fallen more than 30% so far this year. Rogers, which makes advanced materials used in electric and hybrid cars, automotive safety, radar systems and other industrial applications, has a market value of about $1.28 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Reuters reported in 2023 that the activist investor was building a sizable stake in Rogers and was seeking seats on the company's board in its push for changes. The investor said it believes shares of Rogers, at the time of purchase, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Starboard had previously entered into an agreement with Rogers regarding the composition of its board and other matters, it said in a regulatory filing. Following the agreement, Starboard has engaged in discussions with Rogers' management and board regarding opportunities for value creation. The Wall Street Journal reported that Starboard had built a stake of over 9% in Rogers earlier on Wednesday.
