He founded the world's first internet based business, is Chairman Emeritus of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and was computing chair at Singularity University. In self-driving cars, he was on Waymo's early team and has advised the top startups (Zoox, Cruise, Starship) as well as major auto OEMs on the future of transportation.
Transportation Tesla has been promoting their upcoming “Robotaxi Day” presentation, set for October 10 at Warner Brothers Studios in Los Angeles. Delayed from August, it will ostensibly reveal something about Tesla ’s robotaxi plans and designs. Musk tweeted, with the title, “We, Robot” that it would be “one for the history books.” When it was delayed, Tesla stock took a temporary but significant hit, due to the high expectations.
If they don’t have the system to make a working robotaxi, just what will they show? I’ve collected my own speculations, andto imagine just what they might show, given the hype. If they simply show a new car model using Tesla FSD, the industry press and savvy investors will not feel it was one for the history books.There will surely be some sort of vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals and a nice interior for taxi riding.
More useful would be robotic charging. They may show other new capabilities for their robot—people love humanoid robot demos.Tesla is sure to pitch the virtue of robotaxis, because that’s real, even if they can’t yet deliver on it. This includes their safety, time-saving and, plus the ability to restructure transport and the shape of cities.
