Elon Musk keeps hyping up his self-driving robotaxis. Can he ever deliver?
Briefly

While the Cybercab is at least two years from mass availability, there are whispers of the vehicle everywhere. That mostly has to do with its FSD technology, which Tesla has already rolled out in limited features. The current version available has improved highway autopilot driving... However, these tools still require human supervision, and Tesla contends that their FSD tools "do not make the vehicle autonomous."
In an X Live last week, Musk was even more brash with his promotion of Tesla's FSD. Within three months, he claimed, Tesla FSD safety would surpass the safety level of a human driver. The day prior, Musk also said on X that Tesla employees were performing autonomous FSD trials.
Musk has been slowly hyping up the expanded possibilities of the Cybercab. Among the heap of Musk's posts are shoutouts to evolving FSD tech. His new designs, like the 2025 Model Y, also have distinctly Cybercab-esque looks.
Where Tesla's previous FSD used to reach 85 highway miles before disengagement, its new system is now up to 724 miles. "This is what exponential improvement looks like," Musk captioned the post.
