Tesla expects the cybercabs to cost under $30,000 and to become available before 2027
Chief executive Elon Musk pulled up to a stage at the Warner Bros studio lot in one of the company’s cybercabs. Tesla has unveiled its long-awaited robotaxi at a Hollywood studio, although fans of the electric vehicle maker will have to wait until at least 2026 before they are available.
Tesla began selling the software, which is called Full Self-Driving, nine years ago but there are doubts about its reliability.“We’ll move from supervised Full Self-Driving to unsupervised Full Self-Driving, where you can fall asleep and wake up at your destination,” he said. “It’s going to be a glorious future.”
At the presentation, which was dubbed We, Robot and was streamed live on Tesla’s website and X, Mr Musk also revealed a sleek minibus-looking vehicle that, like the cybercab, would be self-driving and can carry up to 20 passengers. Mr Osborne also noted that, in TD Cowen’s view, the “politicisation of Elon” is tarnishing the Tesla brand among Democrat buyers in the US.
But he has acknowledged that past predictions for the use of autonomous driving proved too optimistic. In 2019, he promised the fleet of autonomous vehicles by the end of 2020. Last April in Snohomish County, Washington, near Seattle, a Tesla using Full Self-Driving hit and killed a motorcyclist, authorities said.
