Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to the stage of the We, Robot event hosted at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California to pitch the company's autonomous vision of the future. In addition to a fleet of Detroit: Become Human-esque robots, the new Cybercab, or Robotaxi, and the higher-capacity Robovan were unveiled, positioned as the company's shot in the arm for public transportation.
But Tesla doesn't just want to further snarl up LA traffic with what's being described as individualised, point-to-point mass transit. On stage, Musk posited, "How many hours a week are cars used? About 10 hours a week, out of 168 hours. So the vast majority of the time, cars are just doing nothing. But if they're autonomous, they could be used—I don't know—five times more? Maybe 10 times more?"
