Elon Musk just showed the world his shiny new Robovan. There's already a Chinese vehicle with the same name.
Briefly

"It's an autonomous driving vehicle. If you put a seat there it can serve as a robotaxi car. If you put a cabinet there it is really a logistics car," Han told CNBC in 2021.
"In 2016, we would work with Mercedes-Benz to develop a 'Robovan' for neighborhood goods deliveries," stated Starship Technologies about their concept in a YouTube video.
"WeRide said it obtained a license to conduct road tests for the vehicle in Guangzhou, China," showcasing progress in their Robovan development.
Tesla's new Robovan was CEO Elon Musk's novel surprise at the company's 'We, Robot' event, yet it shares its name with WeRide's earlier product.
