Elon Musk has gone all-in to get robo-taxis onto roads, sacrificing a widely anticipated cheaper car.
all-in to get robo-taxis onto roads, sacrificing a widely anticipated cheaper car, gutting teams focused on other projects and downplaying Tesla ’s sales slowdown.
Tesla’s robo-taxis likely will use a combination of cameras and computing power to navigate the roads. While self-driving vehicles from General Motors’ Cruise and Waymo also rely on laser-based sensors known as Lidar, Musk has dismissed them as too expensive and unnecessary.Tesla has kept the final design of the robo-taxi under wraps, but the vehicle is expected to have two front seats and two doors that open upward like butterfly wings, according to people familiar with the matter.
The CEO is also expected to talk about Tesla’s plans to develop FSD for its Semi truck, and how he sees the technology being used to haul cargo, two people familiar said. However, there won’t be any demos of the Semi using FSD at the event, the people said, asking not to be identified because they weren’t authorised to speak.Assuming Tesla can pull off the necessary technological breakthroughs, it will need regulatory approval to launch.
