Musk introduces the robot taxi and the humanoid robot Optimus

Billionaire tech tycoon Elon Musk presented a self-driving robot taxi on Thursday, predicting that it will be available to consumers by 2027.

The head of the US electric car manufacturing company Tesla said that a fully electric car without a steering wheel or pedals would cost less than $30,000. It will have wireless charging and be “ten to 20 times safer” than human-driven cars.

Musk called to think of this taxi of the future as a small lounge. “You’re just sitting in a cozy little cabin and you can do whatever you want (..) and when you get out, you’re at your destination,” Musk said at a pitch Warner Brothers studios near Los Angeles.

It revealed that Tesla has already built 50 such cars, and the company plans to start “fully autonomous, unguided” driving with its existing models next year in Texas and California, and then move on to making what they call a cyberdachshund.

Maskas admitted that he tends to be optimistic when talking about timelines, but expressed confidence that these cars will be rolled out by 2027. That’s about a decade after those are Musk’s original promises of fully self-driving cars.

The exhibition also featured a vehicle for transporting passengers. The car, which looks like a giant mobile toaster, has no steering wheel, pedals or driver, and can seat up to 20 people or be used to transport cargo, Musk said, without giving details. production information.

Musk also showed off the Optimus humanoid robots, which he says will one day be able to perform a number of helpful tasks as well as offer friendship. “I think this is the greatest product ever made,” Musk said, adding that he believed the robots could sell for between $20,000 and $30,000. However, on the issue of robots, Musk did not reveal when they could be sold.
