Is Tesla's Robotaxi a Bold Step or a Blunder? | HackerNoon
Briefly

Tesla's long-awaited robotaxi, the Cybercab, was unveiled in October, featuring a unique design with gull-wing doors and no steering wheel or pedals. This two-seater vehicle has drawn criticism for its limited capacity compared to traditional taxis. Despite a 9% drop in Tesla's stock following the announcement, interest from consumers remains high. Elon Musk anticipates production starting by 2026 or 2027, although past timelines have been inconsistent. Concerns about regulatory issues surrounding full self-driving technology are also emerging amidst a broader shift toward automated vehicles in the automotive industry.
When you think of a cab, you think of something that's going to carry more than two people. Making this a two-seat-only car is very perplexing.
The fact that the design is an FSD (Full Self Driving), is also raising concerns about regulations.
It's interesting to see the change in the auto consumer as the world is being pushed towards automated cars.
Tesla's stocks tumbled by 9% after the unveil, but buyers were already lining up.
