At the ‘We, Robot’ event, Tesla introduced the Robotaxi, the Robovan, and the Humanoid Robot ‘Optimus’. Elon Musk also promised that the rides would be more affordable and safer.
Over the course of Tesla’s “We, Robot” event, which took place in Burbank, California, the American technology tycoon Elon Musk presented a number of innovative goods.
The Cybercab, a completely automated robotaxi that was created without typical controls such as steering wheels or pedals, was the highlight of the event.
The Cybercab is an electric taxi that is priced less than $30,000 and aims to make electric transportation affordable, with an operational cost of just $0.20 per mile.
By the year 2026, manufacture of the automobile, which has a streamlined appearance with butterfly doors, is scheduled to get underway.
There is a possibility that autonomous cars might be ten to twenty times safer than vehicles piloted by people, according to Musk.
In addition, Tesla presented the Robovan, a vehicle that can accommodate up to twenty people and deliver cargo, therefore broadening the company’s vision for urban transportation.
During the event, Tesla showcased an improved version of its humanoid robot, Optimus. Musk believes Optimus could be one of the company’s most important products.
By the end of 2024, Tesla facilities may implement Optimus, which will be available for purchase at a price range of $20,000 to $30,000.
Musk also disclosed his intentions to implement unsupervised Full-Self Driving (FSD) capabilities in Texas and California beginning the next year, marking a significant step towards the development of completely autonomous driving technology. Musk plans to implement these plans using Model 3 and Model Y cars.
