Elon Musk, Tesla to unveil Robotaxi in L.A.

Big tech meets Hollywood for an event that billionaire Elon Musk promises will change tech forever. Musk is expected to unveil Tesla's much anticipated Robotaxi on the Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank at 7 p.m.

Tesla is calling the event “We, Robot.” Although the event is invite-only, the company will be live-streaming on X. Tesla’s Robotaxis will provide rides for passengers without a driver in the car. The fully self-driving vehicles would compete with ride-hailing services, such as Uber and Lyft.

Oh, heck, no. Thought he was leaving CA alone and scurrying to TX. Maybe he just wants to punish Californians for wanting him gone.

Just wait until it gets hacked and have it destroyed mankind like the movie the Terminator

[PhantomRiver]

Elon apparently left his tiki torch in the taxi.

[justintime]

Ohhh hell fkn nope. Wont catch me rolling with terminator in a bomb

[_Gamer]

Musk is making futuristic looking cars.

[Cucumberflavoredmustard]

Because those robotaxis he promised five years ago turned out so well...

[BlastinRope]

anything that makes life worse for people living in the city is a win by me

[chancemathews]

I want the robot to clean my house while I sleep

I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated

Autopilot doesn't even work on the current teslas. I'm not going to trust a fully autonomous vehicle where I don't even have the option to take control if I need to.

[PCLANParty]

Cheaper than $1.75 Metro mass transit? Yea...sure 🙄

[chaposalazar]

He milking the Tesla boys. Give them some semi futuristic bs and so-called green and they will line up to buy it. Like apple.

[kingblessdotcom]

I keep telling people the future is traveling on a grid similar to the IRobot movie..currently humans driving and the death toll involved is barbaric as hell. Humans will not drive in the future.

[QuanPookie]

Elon is too busy pretending to be Trump’s friend for this. Not to mention, I thought he was done with California?

[bnwo]

Wow! never knew Tesla was the only company that could make robots!!!!

[henlohenlo]

out of these inventions the humanoid looks the best. the driving cars without driver is still a legality issue regarding safety, also a security risk of theft or vandalism. but the humanoid at home acting a body double to get tasks done twice the speed looks pretty dope.

i can program this image is my car, this is a bucket, this is the faucet. and locations of each saved. then tell bot to go wash car with bucket and mop. it can identify the objects and locations and do the tasks. maybe do laundry. etc.

[salvadormendoza]

I thought we already had driverless taxis?

[TrollPriestZandum]

Can we buy the Chinese EVs dominating this market?

[johnnguyen]

Good luck and try not to run over the homeless in L.A.

[customer]

He's a Trump supporter, do NOT buy or use any of his cars! Boycott Tesla and vote Democrat! 💙🌊💙🌊
