during a call is October 10. This setback of a couple of months is due to some “important changes” Tesla’s CEO wants to make.
The Robotaxi is a new technology Tesla wants to introduce. Initially called Cybercab - Robotaxi is an unsupervised self-driving taxi. The latest changes Elon Musk wants to make during this delay are to improve the prototype. "I wanted to make some important changes that I think would improve the robotaxi, and we're also going to show off a couple of other things," said Tesla’s CEO.
With this delay, Tesla Robotaxi probably won't be produced for the masses this year, as predicted. This prediction was made by Elon Musk in April of 2022.
On the call announcing the delay, Musk said that the first unsupervised Robotaxi ride could happen at the end of the year. However, despite his affirmation that he is “overly optimistic”, he also mentioned that the first ride could happen next year.
"Based on the current trends, it seems as though we should get miles between interventions far enough in excess of humans that you could do unsupervised possibly by the end of this year. If we cannot do it, next year." declared Tesla’s CEO during the call.
According to images shared via X - formerly Twitter, the Tesla Robotaxi has a one-unit front seat, no steering wheel, and no rear seats. However, in October we will be able to see how the actual self-driving car will look.
Reportedly, people could request a ride with a Tesla Robotaxi through the Tesla app, like an Uber or Bolt. Moreover, Tesla owners could put their cars in the shared. This will be available network after the company achieves fully self-driving vehicles.
The self-driving cars seem more than just a futuristic dream with the new technology Tesla continues to develop. The first step in this direction is the Autopilot feature on Tesla Electric Vehicles.
Tesla continues to amaze with the new technology in all fields, not just automobiles. Monday Elon Musk declared a new technology that allows the company to use humanoid robots next year. This humanoid robot is called “Tesla Optimus Gen 2” and it will complete tasks in the Tesla factory.
Tesla stock is down more than 6% since Thursday after Tesla reported its second-quarter earnings for this year. The number is less than expected. However, Ark Investment Management’s prediction is in favor of the company. They predicted a $2,600 increase per share by 2029 due to Robotaxi. This prediction is on condition the new technology is functional. If the Tesla Robotaxi is not achievable, Ark predicts that the share will drop to $350 per share.
