Recently Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that the automaker is planning to reveal its new “Robotaxi”, a next generation self-driving vehicle on the 8th of August, this year.
Tesla has recently grabbed the attention for its electric truck Cybertruck. Now the company has been expected to release two highly anticipated new electric vehicles: a smaller and cheaper electric car, commonly referred to as the “$25,000 Tesla Model 2” and a new “dedicated Robotaxi.” a vehicle designed from the ground up for autonomous driving without any pedals or steering wheel.
Talking about robotaxi, Tesla has been talking about making all its consumer vehicles built since 2015 being capable of becoming robotaxis through a software update, but at Tesla’s Cyber Rodeo event in April 2022, Musk announced that Tesla would also build a new vehicle specifically to be a “robotaxi.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted that Tesla would unveil the Robotaxi on August 8th that interestingly follows the report that Tesla had scared its “Model 2”in favor of the Robotaxi.
Although Musk denied the report, this announcement seems to be an acceleration of the robotaxi program as Tesla previously talked about an unveiling of the next-gen vehicles at the end of 2024.
From Walter Issascon’s approved biography of Musk, we learned that Tesla Robotaxi will be “Cybertruck-like.” It also released a picture of an early design prototype f the vehicle.
