00:00After years of bold promises about driverless technology, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has finally
00:04unveiled the CyberCab, the latest addition to Tesla's lineup. At a highly anticipated event
00:08in Burbank, Musk introduced the CyberCab, a stylish two-seater that completely eliminates
00:13steering wheels and pedals. Musk revealed that Tesla currently has 21 CyberCabs and a total of
00:1750 autonomous vehicles ready for demonstration. While he didn't disclose where production will
00:21take place, he did say consumers can expect a price under $30,000, with production aimed for
00:27before 2027. In addition, Musk announced that the Robovan, an electric vehicle designed to
00:33transport up to 20 passengers, is also perfect for high-density needs like sports teams.
00:37Both vehicles will feature innovative inductive charging, allowing them to recharge without
00:41plugging in. Musk expressed optimism about Tesla's full self-driving capabilities,
00:45stating that, quote, unsupervised FSD could launch into Texas and California by next year.
