Tesla's chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, has been envisioning an autonomous vehicle since the early days of the Model S, and now, over a decade later, Tesla is set to unveil a robotaxi at an event in Los Angeles. While details remain scarce, von Holzhausen hints at an "intriguing" and "fun" reveal, building on Tesla's existing vehicle designs and technology. He emphasizes the evolution of Tesla's design philosophy, which integrates technology seamlessly into daily life, like the self-presenting door handle. Von Holzhausen envisions a future where autonomous driving is commonplace, likening it to the historical shift from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles. He sees this transition as both a challenge and an opportunity to redefine how people use their time and experience travel.
