Today, Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, will take center stage at the highly anticipated “We, Robot” event, which promises to showcase the company’s vision for autonomous ridesharing, and perhaps unveil the mysterious “Cybercab.” Set to take place at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, the event will be streamed live on X (formerly Twitter) at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT. If you’re curious about Tesla’s plans for autonomous driving, this is definitely an event to keep on your radar.

The “Cybercab” will mark a pivotal moment in Tesla’s push toward a future of fully autonomous vehicles. Musk has hinted that these robotaxis will run on a Tesla-owned ridesharing network, allowing owners to add their personal cars to the fleet in an Uber-like fashion, all without a driver behind the wheel. While this sounds groundbreaking, expectations are tempered by Tesla’s past challenges with autonomy. For example, back in 2019, Musk promised a fleet of a million robotaxis by 2020 — and well, here we are in 2024 with no robotaxi on the road yet.

Nonetheless, the buzz around today’s event remains strong. Investors, Tesla fans, and competitors alike are watching closely to see if Tesla will finally reveal a working prototype or take meaningful steps toward overcoming regulatory hurdles. So far, companies like Waymo and Cruise have logged significant miles testing autonomous vehicles, with Waymo leading the pack by operating robotaxis commercially in the U.S.

Tesla’s approach to autonomy, which relies primarily on cameras and AI, is different from its rivals, who often utilize more complex sensor systems. Given the industry’s tight regulations, it remains to be seen how quickly Tesla can catch up. Either way, it’s a must-watch event for anyone fascinated by the future of self-driving cars.

To tune in, head over to X for the livestream of the event at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT tonight.
