Tesla revealed its fully autonomous driverless robotaxi, the Cybercab, on Friday. Priced below $30,000, the Cybercab does not have a traditional charging port and will rely on wireless charging.

In Short

• Tesla Cybercab will be priced below $30,000
• Cybercab will rely on wireless charging
• It does not have a steering wheel or pedals

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Tesla revealed its fully autonomous driverless robotaxi, the Cybercab, earlier today. As Tesla CEO Elon Musk put it, the Cybercab will be quite affordable, priced below $30,000.

The Tesla Cybercab's design is inspired by that of the Tesla Cybertruck. It has two doors and, rather interestingly, only two seats at the front with no second row of seats.

The most surprising part is that the Cybercab does not have a steering wheel or pedals. It will rely on Tesla's full self driving (FSD) software.

The Cybercab has dihedral doors, a light bar each at the front and rear, and large wheels with big disc-like covers. The dashboard just has a screen in the centre. There is no traditional charging port and the Cybercab will rely on wireless charging.

During the unveiling of the Cybercab at 'We, Robot' event in California, Musk said: "We have 50 fully autonomous cars here. You will see Model Y and Cybercab, all driverless."

Musk noted that Tesla expects to begin the production of the Cybercab, which is highly optimised for autonomous transport, probably in 2026. "We will make this vehicle in very high volume," he said.
