In a clear reference to Isaac Asimov’s renowned science fiction novel, the invitations feature the tagline ‘We, Robot.’ The event was initially planned for August 8; however, Tesla postponed it at the request of CEO Elon Musk, who sought modifications to the vehicle’s design. He expressed a desire to showcase additional features as well.
According to rumors, the Robotaxi will have a design reminiscent of the “Cybertruck,” although it is anticipated to be smaller in size.
Social media users have speculated that a video released by Tesla provides a sneak peek of the autonomous vehicle’s interior, suggesting the absence of steering wheels and pedals.
Earlier this year, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, announced that the company would soon introduce a fully autonomous vehicle known as the Robotaxi. This model aims to merge the advantages of services like Uber and Airbnb, enabling vehicle owners to rent out their cars while passengers are transported, thereby generating income for the owners. This concept appears to be drawn from the realm of science fiction, a characteristic that Tesla has consistently delivered.
Limited information is available regarding the robotaxi, aside from indications that it will lack a steering wheel and pedals, and that its design will resemble that of the “Cybertruck.”
