Tesla to unveil dedicated robotaxi at We Robot event in California

npr.org — October 10, 2024, 01:01 PM UTC

Summary: Tesla is set to unveil a dedicated robotaxi at its event "We, Robot" tonight in Burbank, California. CEO Elon Musk has long promised fully autonomous vehicles, but Tesla's current software still requires human intervention, unlike competitors like Waymo and Cruise.

Musk aims to shift Tesla's focus from electric vehicle sales to the more profitable software market. The new robotaxi design represents a fresh approach, as Tesla relies solely on cameras for navigation, while others use a mix of sensors.

The event may also showcase Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus. Musk believes this robot could surpass the value of Tesla's other products. Analysts are eager to see if Musk can deliver a working autonomous vehicle, as past predictions have often missed the mark.
