Musk also mentioned that he is expecting Tesla to start “unsupervised FSD in Texas and California next year” with Model Y and Model 3. He also said that he sees an optimistic timeline where the Cybercab is expecting to enter production “before 2027”. At the We, Robot event, participants were able to drive around in the 20 cars available there. “They have like 20 of them driving around the entire lot totally unsupervised,”.

The autonomous bus can carry over 20 people and they can also carry goods. But, for this autonomous vehicle, there were no timelines revealed. The Robovan is only a picture of how the future can look like in the next years.
Elon Musk also introduced at the We, Robot event, almost a dozen Optimus Robots , and developed his idea of robots acting as friends and helpers, their prices ranging from $20,000 and $30,000. The robots were walking and dancing at the event and even preparing drinks for the guests.

robotaxi rides which are supposed to be less costly compared with public transportation. Yet in 2019 Musk spoke publicly that “By the middle of next year, we’ll have over a million Tesla cars on the road with Full Self-Driving hardware, feature complete, at a reliability level that we would consider that no one needs to pay attention, meaning you could go to sleep,”, and that “From our standpoint if you fast forward a year, maybe a year and three months, but next year for sure, we will have over a million robotaxis on the road. The fleet wakes up with an over-the-air update. That’s all it takes.” Which did not happen by 2020.
Tesla’s Cybercab needs to prove itself as a safe way of transportation before releasing the cars to the public. So, under the conditions where the Cybercab does not have a steering wheel and pedals, the new Tesla car would be put out of compliance with the federal vehicle safety measure laws.
