Elon Musk unveiled, at a Tesla event in California, USA, the highly anticipated autonomous taxi “Cybercab,” which has no steering wheel or pedals and is expected to cost less than $30,000.
Additionally, the billionaire also revealed a groundbreaking “robovan,” capable of accommodating 20 people, along with the new generation of humanoid robots Optimus, which interacted with the guests.
Musk stated that the autonomous taxis will be available before 2027, with an operational cost of 20 cents for about 1.5 km, and will be summoned via the Tesla app, allowing owners to rent out their fleets.
However, the prototypes still require human supervision, similar to current Tesla cars, while the company works to develop fully autonomous and safe driving.
Tesla’s technology stands out from competitors by using only cameras and AI, without the support of lidar or radar, making the process more economical but also more challenging.
In addition to the vehicles, Musk highlighted that the Optimus robots, which will cost between $20,000 and $30,000 in the future, will be capable of performing a wide range of tasks, from babysitting to grocery shopping, which Musk believes to be the greatest product ever created.
