Tesla boss Elon Musk is to unveil a prototype of the firm’s long-awaited robotaxi, the Cybercab, at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California.
Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, announced in April that the business would showcase an autonomous taxi on August 8. The event was later postponed due to “design changes.” The company is now ready to reveal the robotaxi to the public.
Mr. Musk has long been captivated by self-driving vehicles, and he has made a number of wild predictions about them, including the possibility that they may save lives or generate revenue for their owners by being rented out for rides or even overnight stays.
However, when he takes the stage for Tesla’s “We, Robot” event, he will be under pressure to clarify doubts about the company’s ability to deliver on its promises.
Meanwhile, robotaxis developed by driverless car rivals such as Waymo, owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet, are already operating on some US roads.
Mr. Musk explained away the latest delay to Tesla’s robotaxi offering by saying, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), that it was down to some last-minute changes from him. But analysts say it is now time for the company to show real progress with the project.
Elon Musk has previously been keen to have the media attend his product launches.
But, despite multiple enquiries, the BBC did not secure an invitation to Tesla’s Cybercab unveiling.
It will be livestreamed on X at 19:00 Pacific Time in the US on Thursday, or approximately 03:00 in the UK on Friday morning.
