Part 5/11:
Tesla’s Cyber Cab—an autonomous, cost-effective electric taxi—was also a focal point. Elon Musk demonstrated the vehicle, emphasizing its design optimized for comfort, efficiency, and affordability, with a top speed of about 90 mph and a targeted start of production in April 2026.
This vehicle is not just a concept but is approaching real-world deployment. Tesla aims to remove safety drivers from their Austin robo-taxi fleet by the end of 2023, which would be a significant milestone toward fully autonomous ride-hailing. Musk envisions Cyber Cab as a mass-market solution, providing transportation for a fraction of current ride-share costs, fundamentally changing urban mobility.
