In October, Tesla finally lifted the veil on its robotaxi, called Cybercab. This vehicle relies on autonomous driving and, unlike cars transformed by Waymo, the Cybercab has no steering wheel or pedals. Besides, this one doesn’t have a Tesla logo either. And if you are wondering about the reason for this absence of the brand logo, here is the answer: in essence, Elon Musk believes that the design is so particular that the vehicle does not need a logo to be recognizable. recognize.
Recently, Musk reacted to an Internet user who explained on the social network X that, like the Cybetruck, the Cybercab does not have a Tesla logo. “Because when you’re this bold, the design speaks for itself”we read in the publication. In response to this, Musk wrote: “If the product is special enough, no logo is necessary.”
Tens of millions of autonomous Teslas
At the moment, we don’t know exactly when the Cybercab will be released. But today, this robotaxi is one of the products that Tesla is counting on to ensure its long-term growth. In another post, Elon Musk writes: “Eventually, tens of millions of driverless Teslas will be driving around the world 24/7.”
But Tesla’s biggest project is probably Optimus, its humanoid robot. The company developed it to carry out repetitive or dangerous tasks. And the manufacturer could also transform Optimus into domestic robots. At the moment, we do not know when this robot will be finalized, but, in any case, the market for humanoid robots could experience exponential growth in a few years.
According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, this market could be worth $38 billion in 2035. And Elon Musk, for his part, estimates that there could be more robots than humans on Earth in 2040.
