Tesla’s “We, Robot” robotaxi event: the biggest news and announcements
Tesla is revealing its long anticipated robotaxi in Burbank, California and here’s everything they announced.
Tesla’s “We, Robot” robotaxi event is happening at the Warner Bros. movie studio film lot in Burbank, Calif., where CEO is expected to announce the company’s first fully driverless vehicle.
Musk will also share more details about the Tesla Network, the company’s autonomous ride-hailing service that will serve as a platform for Tesla’s autonomous technology.
For years, Musk has been promising that a driverless Tesla vehicle was just “two years away.” Many delays later, Musk will finally have to show fans and investors what he’s been working on. The “We, Robot” event is a referendum on whether Musk can deliver real self-driving technology that can compete with robotaxi companies like Waymo and Cruise.
Along with the robotaxi, Tesla is expected to provide updates on its humanoid Optimus robot — after all, the event is titled “We, Robot,” a reference to Isaac Asimov’s seminal work I, Robot. Tesla might also show one of its mystery vehicles — a van or a cheaper car that could compete with China’s growing affordable EV market.
