Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he delayed the reveal of the company's autonomous vehicle to ask for some design changes.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday that the automaker will reveal its purpose-built robotaxi on October 10. That's roughly two months later than it had initially planned. On the automaker's second-quarter earnings call, Musk said he wanted to 'make some important changes that I think would improve' the vehicle, which may be called the Cybercab. He also said that the delay would allow Tesla to 'show off a couple of other things.' He did not specify what that would be.
Tesla Cybercab Render Inside Musk says that creating self-driving cars—including a taxi for its own future ride-hailing business—is critical for Tesla's future as a extraordinarily valuable AI company. But it's still unclear if Tesla can crack autonomous driving. It offers a feature called Full Self-Driving that requires driver supervision and often makes mistakes.
