CEO Elon Musk served up the cool design for the prototype of the Tesla robotaxi, dubbed Cybercab, at a much-hyped event near Los Angeles late on Thursday.
But in true Musk style, he skipped over expectations of how a two-seater robotaxi would serve the needs of families headed to a restaurant or to the airport, or if he expected these to appeal only to a niche clientele.
Musk did showcase a futuristic robovan that could seat up to 20 people but did not say when that would be available.
The Robotaxi, introduced as a concept car without a steering wheel and pedals, is projected to be priced under $30,000 and is set for a rollout in 2026.
