Elon Musk has shown off his “Cybercab” in an eagerly anticipated event for Tesla investors

But was vague on crucial details as he predicted that its self-driving taxi would be available for less than $30,000. Musk said production of the robotaxis was likely to start before 2027, with the caveat that the service needed to be approved by regulators. He also unveiled a prototype for a 20-person autonomous vehicle called “the Robovan”. Since Tesla announced a “robotaxi day” on April 5, its shares have risen 45 per cent in anticipation of the unveiling. Musk has said the new electric vehicles could take the company’s valuation as high as $5tn, about seven times its current market value. Musk has repeatedly missed his own targets to roll out self-driving taxis, first promising fully autonomous rides from Los Angeles to New York by the end of 2017. In 2019, he predicted that 1mn robotaxis would be on the road by the following year. On Thursday, he said unsupervised rides using its self-driving software could be available in Texas and California from next year. Source: FT >>> https://lnkd.in/esX_w5P2
