The fleet will operate like a traditional taxi service -- but without drivers.
A Tesla all electric Model X is displayed during the British Motor Show 2024 at Farnborough International Exhibition Centre, Aug. 15, 2024, in Farnborough, England.Tesla is set to hold a live event Thursday titled “We, Robot” where the company is expected to unveil a fully autonomous vehicle that CEO Elon Musk has called a “Cybercab.”
“We, Robot,” was originally scheduled for Aug. 8, but was pushed back after Musk asked for an “important design change” to the vehicle. In a post on X, a link to the event’s livestream is captioned: “he future will be streamed live.” Here’s what to expect from Tesla’s robotaxi event: In June, at Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting, dubbed “Cyber Roundup 2024,” Musk said that his vision for a driverless taxi service is similar to Uber, the ridesharing service, and AirBnB, the vacation rental app.

Model S electric automobile, equipped with Autopilot hardware and software, hands-free on a highway in Amsterdam, Oct. 26, 2015.Wedbush Securities Tech Analyst Dan Ives says Musk is hoping the Cybercab can achieve two goals. First, the data collected from autonomous taxi rides could lay the groundwork for other projects he’s working on, such as the humanoid Tesla robot dubbed “Optimus.
“It still requires a human minder, a human operator. Like, it’s not really full self-driving,” says George.
