Tesla built a Starlink internet dish into its Cybercab robotaxi
Tesla and SpaceX have teamed up on a bunch of projects. On Monday, the automaker showed off another partnership between Musk's companies.
Tesla has integrated Starlink's satellite internet equipment directly into its first Cybercab robotaxi, as revealed in photos posted on X by the EV maker on Monday. This partnership with Starlink, another Elon Musk company, allows Cybercab riders to enjoy high-speed internet for activities like watching live sports in 4K, streaming movies, playing games, or conducting productivity tasks while on the go.
Musk emphasized during the company's earnings call that the integration is crucial to prevent robotaxis from getting stranded due to a lack of cellular coverage, particularly in remote areas often referred to as "Bermuda Triangles." This marks yet another example of the increasing interconnectedness between Tesla and its sister companies, SpaceX, and others, raising speculation about potential future mergers.
