Last week, Elon Musk showcased Tesla’s new driverless robotaxis, dubbed Cybercabs, at an event in Los Angeles. The vehicles have no pedals and no steering wheel.

Tesla says that users could “Hail your car and use it as long as you need for errands, commuting and more. … To create a sustainable future, we must democratize transportation. We do this by making driving more efficient, affordable, and safe. Autonomy makes this future possible, today.”

Reuters says the Cybercab is “designed as a low-slung, two-seater, sporty coupe—quite the opposite of a typical taxi with room for several passengers and luggage” and that it “flummoxed investors and analysts.”

According to Reuters, Musk said the company would start building the fully autonomous Cybercab by 2026 at a price of less than $30,000. Musk also showed off a robovan capable of transporting 20 people around town.

According to Reuters, convincing regulators and passengers of the vehicle’s safety could prove to be a challenge, “while its main competitors, such as Alphabet’s Waymo, expand robotaxi fleets they're already operating in select cities today.”

Initial takeaways were mixed, with The Wall Street Journal calling the unveiling “something of a Rorschach test” and citing a lack of details.

CNBC reported that Musk “expects Tesla to have ‘unsupervised FSD’ up and running in Texas and California next year in the company’s Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles. FSD, which stands for Full Self-Driving, is Tesla’s premium driver assistance system, available today in a ‘supervised’ version for Tesla electric vehicles.”

Back in May, NACS Daily looked into Tesla’s decision to let go most of its EV charging team.
