Elon Musk is promising an “autonomous” future, unveiling a number of driverless products … including Tesla’s highly anticipated Cybercab.
The billionaire offered a demonstration Thursday night at an event titled “We, Robot,” showing off 3 new products. The first was the brand’s driverless Cybercab, which Elon rode into the event … and attendees were able to test out.

He said … “The autonomous future is here. We have 50 fully autonomous cars here tonight. You’ll see model Ys and the Cybercab. All driverless.”
Specifically, 20 of the fully autonomous cabs — that notably have no steering wheel or pedals — were on hand at Warner Bros. Studios, where the high-tech event took place.
Elon says the cabs will be available just before 2027 and claims it will sell for under $30K.
Tesla’s Optimus “personal assistant” robots were also in attendance, serving drinks and interacting with guests … making the whole thing feel like something out of “Westworld.” He even said the robots could “babysit your kids.”

But, it seemed Tesla’s new 20-person “Robovan” really made a splash … as the massive driverless vehicle was a surprise at the event.
