Tesla CEO Elon Musk has introduced the Cybercab, a futuristic robotaxi designed for self-driving, marking a potential milestone in autonomous transportation. This vehicle, which charges wirelessly and lacks a steering wheel or pedals, is expected to be significantly safer and cheaper per mile than traditional city buses. Tesla aims to launch fully autonomous driving in Texas and California next year, with Cybercab production anticipated by 2026 or 2027. Musk also unveiled the Optimus robot, capable of performing various tasks, priced between USD20,000 and USD30,000. Despite Tesla's ambitious plans, the company faces skepticism from AV experts and competition from companies like Waymo and Cruise, which have more on-road testing experience. Musk emphasizes the time-saving benefits of autonomous cars, although the technology's safety is under scrutiny by federal regulators. Additionally, Tesla has faced legal challenges and recalls related to its driver-assist systems, and Musk's controversial actions as head of X have alienated some customers.
