About this listen
Tesla held a "We, Robot" event where they unveiled the Cybercab, a smaller, sleeker two-seater version of the Cybertruck designed to operate as a robotaxi. Alongside this, they showcased a Robovan, an autonomous bus, and Optimus, a humanoid robot.
The event highlighted Tesla's ambition to enter the autonomous driving market, with plans for unsupervised self-driving features in Texas and California by next year, and the Cybercab going into production in 2026.
Tesla's vision encompasses both a dedicated robotaxi fleet and the ability for Tesla owners to earn money by using their cars as robotaxis through a ride-hailing app.
However, the company faces challenges regarding the safety and legality of autonomous driving, especially with the Cybercab's lack of steering wheels and pedals.
