TechCrunch · 1y

Elon Musk announced plans to reveal a Tesla robotaxi on August 8th, following reports of ditching a $25,000 low-cost electric vehicle in favor of focusing on the robotaxi project. The decision comes amid lagging EV sales and falling profits for Tesla. Musk had previously debated between a traditional car and an autonomous robotaxi, with promises of autonomous capabilities in Tesla vehicles. Tesla's current driver-assistance system, Autopilot, does not offer full self-driving capabilities.
