Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Tesla next-generation vehicle" in English language version.
Whatever the case may be, I think anyone getting their hopes up about actual Tesla robotaxis hitting the streets in 2024 is being idealistic. I just don't see that happening, and I think it would be good for people to not have unrealistic expectations about Tesla robotaxis yet again. [...] I will remember this article if Tesla somehow releases true robotaxis in 2024, or even in 2025, which I also think is very unlikely.
At the [2019 Autonomy Day] event, Musk said, 'I feel very confident predicting autonomous robotaxis for Tesla next year.' He went on to suggest that Tesla would have a million such cars operating on public roads by the end of 2020. By 'robotaxis,' Musk meant genuine self-driving cars, capable of operating with no one inside and able to pick up passengers and deliver them to random locations. In other words, a truly robotic version of Uber or Lyft.
Cybercab (or Robotaxi β the name isn't entirely clear right now as both names were used throughout the event)
