Tesla Unveils Autonomous 'Robotaxi' and 'Robovan'

Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled two of the company's upcoming autonomous 'Robotaxi' or 'Cybercab' and the Robovan at a futuristic event on the Warner Bros. Burbank lot on 10 October 2024. Musk arrived at the 'We, Robot' event in a Robotaxi, which is expected to cost under $30,000 (£22,980) when in production. It is fully autonomous, lacking a steering wheel. He said he believes production will begin "in 2026". The cars aim to bring about a future with fully autonomous vehicles, where parking lots can be replaced by parks and passengers can relax and watch films while travelling - and even manage fleets of autonomous vehicles. In addition to the Cybercab, Musk announced the Robovan, a similarly autonomous van capable of carrying up to 20 passengers or goods.
