Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, introduced the robotaxi, referred to as the “Cybercab.” This new vehicle is designed to operate without a steering wheel or pedals, emphasizing full autonomy. The Cybercab features a compact, two-door design with angular edges and a stainless steel finish, reminiscent of the Cybertruck. Musk highlighted that the vehicle is built for efficiency and safety, aiming to revolutionize urban transportation.

Autonomous Technology and Challenges
The robotaxi is equipped with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, which Musk claims will enable the vehicle to navigate complex urban environments without human intervention. However, regulatory approval remains a significant hurdle. Currently, Tesla’s FSD is classified as Level 2 autonomy, meaning it requires driver supervision. Achieving full regulatory approval for Level 5 autonomy, where no human intervention is needed, will be crucial for the widespread deployment of the Cybercab.
