AutoExec Summary
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that the long-awaited robotaxi will be revealed on August 8, 2024. This comes after reports that Tesla had cancelled its US$25,000 small EV to focus on the robotaxi. The robotaxi, which won’t have a steering wheel, is expected to face regulatory hurdles. Tesla’s previous vehicle releases, such as the Cybertruck and Semi, faced delays in production. The reveal comes amid scrutiny of Tesla’s semi-autonomous driving systems, including Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, which have been involved in numerous crashes in the US.
