Tesla to launch Cybercab robotaxi in Texas early September
SAN FRANCISCO: US electric vehicle maker Tesla will launch its Cybercab robotaxi early September, reported Xinhua quoting a Tesla-focused news outlet Teslarati report.
Tesla plans to launch its Cybercab robotaxi in Austin, Texas, early September, according to a report by Teslarati. The event is expected to take place on September 3, although Tesla has not officially confirmed the date. Industry experts believe the launch will showcase not only a new vehicle but also a self-driving autonomous vehicle.
The Cybercab stands out due to its absence of a steering wheel or pedals, relying solely on advanced software for near-full autonomy. CEO Elon Musk has previously hinted at a retail price of under $30,000 for the Cybercab. Unveiled in October 2024, the Cybercab is a cornerstone of Tesla's robotaxi strategy. Initially, the vehicles will be used by Tesla employees in real-world conditions before being integrated into a commercial robotaxi service.
This launch signifies another milestone in Tesla's autonomous driving pursuits, with robotaxi services expected to significantly impact the company's revenue and AI strategies.
