Elon Musk Autonomous Future Is Here ... Debuts Driverless Cab, Robot Personal Assistant
Elon Musk is promising an "autonomous" future, unveiling a number of driverless products ... including Tesla's highly anticipated Cybercab.
The billionaire offered a demonstration Thursday night at an event titled "We, Robot," showing off 3 new products. The first was the brand's driverless Cybercab, which Elon rode into the event ... and attendees were able to test out.
He said ... "The autonomous future is here. We have 50 fully autonomous cars here tonight. You’ll see model Ys and the Cybercab. All driverless."
Specifically, 20 of the fully autonomous cabs -- that notably have no steering wheel or pedals -- were on hand at Warner Bros. Studios, where the high-tech event took place.
Elon says the cabs will be available just before 2027 and claims it will sell for under $30K.
Tesla's Optimus "personal assistant" robots were also in attendance, serving drinks and interacting with guests ... making the whole thing feel like something out of "Westworld." He even said the robots could "babysit your kids."
But, it seemed Tesla's new 20-person "Robovan" really made a splash ... as the massive driverless vehicle was a surprise at the event.
Tesla investor Matthew Donegan-Ryan caught up with us on "TMZ Live" Friday, where he detailed his interaction with the robots on Thursday evening ... revealing what exactly he discussed with one of the robo-personal assistants. Watch the vid ... it's pretty fascinating!!!
It's unclear when any of these products will be available ... but Elon's surely giving consumers a glimpse of the future!!!
