Tesla teases imminent launch of Cybercab 'robotaxi'

Tesla is teasing the upcoming debut of its self-driving robotaxi, dubbed "Cybercab," to compete with the likes of Uber and Waymo.

The company shared a promotional image on social media on late Aug. 21 promising "exclusive access" to Cybercabs at a Sept. 3 event in Austin, Texas, where Tesla is headquartered.

"We're celebrating the launch of our Cybercab robotaxi with an exclusive event in Austin — and you could be there," the company said on its website, promoting a sweepstakes to win a chance to attend the event.

First unveiled in October 2024, the gold-colored vehicle can carry two passengers and marks the first Tesla car with no steering wheel or pedals.
