THE FUTURE IS GOLD FOR TESLA AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AND MORE

Robotaxi

THE ROBOTAXI

At Tesla’s recent “We, Robot” event, CEO Elon Musk unveiled the Robotaxi, a purposebuilt, fully autonomous vehicle that lacks traditional controls like a steering wheel or pedals. It represents a significant step forward in Tesla’s plan to democratize autonomous transportation.

imageWhile Tesla’s current models already feature Full Self-Driving (FSD) in a supervised state, the Robotaxi is designed for complete autonomy, and it marks Tesla’s most significant departure from traditional car design to date.

imageThe Robotaxi, with its compact size, seating for two passengers, and futuristic, minimalist design, is engineered to handle urban environments.

imageIt features butterfly-wing doors, a spacious trunk, and a completely enclosed cabin with no rear window or glass roof—elements that make it distinct from any other vehicle on the market.

imageThe lack of a traditional charging port also sets it apart. Instead, the Robotaxi is powered by inductive charging. It can wirelessly recharge its batteries via charging pads embedded in parking spaces, eliminating the need for cumbersome plug-in charging stations.
