Elon Musk announced that every future Tesla vehicle will include Starlink satellite internet, starting with the Cybercab. The Cybercab already features a Starlink antenna built into its rear roof, covered by a rectangular panel instead of being exposed. This installation allows the vehicle to access reliable internet connectivity, crucial for Tesla's robotaxi service, which does not require a driver.
The Cybercab's Starlink connectivity will enable navigation assistance, customer support, and fleet management. Although Tesla VP of AI software, Ashok Elluswamy, stated that Starlink is not essential for the vehicle's safe operation, Musk emphasized its importance for connectivity in areas with poor or no cellular coverage. Musk further revealed that all cars will eventually be equipped with Starlink, highlighting its potential for high-bandwidth service to billions of vehicles.
