Elon Musk says Tesla will unveil its robotaxis on August 8, 2024 – Copyright AFP\/File Patrick T. Fallon<\/small><\/em><\/p>\nElon Musk revealed Friday that Tesla will pull back the curtain on a robotaxi this summer, news that comes as adoption of self-driving vehicles hits speed bumps over safety concerns.<\/p>\n
The billionaire boss of the electric car maker did not provide details, saying only in his post on X that the \u201cTesla Robotaxi unveil\u201d will come on August 8.<\/p>\n
Tesla shares rose more than three percent in after-market trades following the post, after finishing the day down.<\/p>\n
Musk has long boasted of work Tesla is doing on its systems for electric cars to drive themselves.<\/p>\n
Tesla models with FSD (Full Self-Driving) \u201cwill be superhuman to such a degree that it will seem strange in the future that humans drove cars, even while exhausted and drunk!\u201d he said in a post on X in March.<\/p>\n
Musk has also said that owners of Tesla vehicles with FSD will be able to have their cars serve as robotaxis, rather than remain idly parked.<\/p>\n
Despite its potential, rollout of self-driving vehicles in the United States has been tentative and rocky so far as both regulators and the public voice safety concerns.<\/p>\n
San Francisco has been a testing ground for the technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Robotaxis from Google\u2019s Waymo in the city have been targeted by vandals opposed to autonomous vehicles, while GM-owned Cruise indefinitely suspended its robotaxi service at the end of October after several accidents sparked a crackdown by California regulators.<\/p>\n
Tesla\u2019s \u201cautopilot\u201d feature has also come under scrutiny, facing accusations the marketing of the feature oversold its actual capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tesla\u2019s robotaxi reveal came on the heels of a Reuters report that the company had abandoned Musk\u2019s long-touted plan to manufacture an electric car model selling close to $25,000 to drive adoption in the mass market.<\/p>\n
Musk fired off a post denying the report.<\/p>\n
Tesla this week reported sharply lower first-quarter auto sales amid an underwhelming demand outlook for electric vehicles, while legacy players including Toyota rode improved US inventories to higher sales.<\/p>\n
Musk\u2019s auto giant reported global deliveries fell 8.5 percent in the quarter, reflecting in part a weak sales market in China, where it faces heavy competition from local electric vehicle makers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives called the quarterly results \u201can unmitigated disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
