It’s about more than transportation. Many older people need to live within a reasonable distance from services because of the limitations that age brings to people. Robotaxis in any format will be genuinely life changing for people.
Ok , and with no driver who will help the oldie in and out of the car? Who will help the oldie stow bags and luggage or wheelchair , will Tesla break tradition and put grab handles on the inner roof 😂😂😂😂. A conventional taxi with a driver would be 3 times better. Not to mention , some taxis come as people movers with electric tailgates so oldies do not have to get out of their wheelchair , they can just roll on and the driver will secure them safely.
Cars are already allowed to drive themselves. Otherwise Waymo wouldn't be able to offer their fully autonomous ride hailing service in California, Texas, or Florida. Regulations aren't Tesla's problem. That's not what's holding them back. Their full self-driving software is their problem.

Tesla is the ONLY company ACTUALLY innovating and making products not "designed to fail for service revenue". I support Teslas mission and just bought wife a Model Y with FSD. YES the FSD is already AWESOME and we dont even have V13 yet.
@@RedRouge-j4jGoogle isn’t innovating. Their computer scientists literally wrote the paper describing transformers, the key to current AI tech. They still fumbled AI, and when they tried to catch up, they released some woke nonsense with black Founding Fathers. Google has been stagnating for at least a decade now. Google had a great idea with Waymo, but progress stalled and they sold the company off. Google does very little actual innovation. They simply let startups do their innovation and then buy them out if they’re successful. Android and TH-cam, Google’s only real successes, were both purchased.
Tesla has one of the worst quality control records per JD Power. My son bought an S in 2017. Many recalls. Big screen failures. Class action suit to fix them. Wake up. Not too late to take it back.
Anyone against driverless vehicles needs to take a look around at what 50% of drivers are doing now, they are all staring at their damn phones. These vehicles can’t come to market fast enough in my opinion.
yeah I am against it cuz it wont work. we can make vehicles monitor drivers to not allow them to be on their damn phones. instead we are promoting poor driver behavior. I saw a dude slumped behind his Model 3 on the highway last week..... blindly believing in the massively underdelivering FSD system.
Where i live there’s a lot of people on bicycles. And the safety depends on visual human interaction. I don’t think a self driving car will ever play a part in this.
1:10 Franz is so thoughtful. I appreciate his take on the usefulness of autonomous transportation as a method to help people who have less. I really hope that for as long as Franz stays with Tesla, he continues to be a voice for the empathetic approach like this.
My wife has multiple sclerosis. Man this would be a dream for her. I actually love her older Audi, so I told her we'll just get a Tesla robot to drive that car lol. Plus it'll put the bags in the car.
This is awesome. I find it a bit ironic that the idea of this car is really the epitome of "you will own nothing and be happy" in a way - but if its accessible enough, it will actually enable a lot of people to gain the comfort of individual transportation without a great cost, so that's good: It's gonna be great for elderly, visually or otherwise disabled people, for taxi/uber rides, and to just make self-driving a new reality. And it's not like there are no other options - as said in the video, Tesla has other options if one wants to drive themselves and have more seats and so on. The Cybercab is, given that context, really the most efficient way of handling most rides.
Always when I think, that’s it, the decisive part for the Tesla icon, you guys come with another climax. Together they form the very unique Tesla monument.
First time viewer of this channel...Video showed up in my feed and I clicked immediately!! Looking forward to cybercabbing to & from the airport, cannot wait!!! Thank you for sharing. GO TESLA!!!! $690.00 next stop!😆
Franz, Thank you for this wonderful video. Congratulations to you and your team for the thoughtful and innovative design of the CyberCab. I can’t wait to see them on the streets, and to ride in them. 😎
Alas, I don't think mass market flying cars will ever be a thing. Imagine 7am on a work day on a sleepy suburban street when suddenly everyone fires up their 2 tonne flying cars!! It'd be absolute carnage and ruin the day of anyone still in bed! 😂
Its onboard computers drive the car like a human to care of things like these. It also includes self parking and self moving from a parking spot to wherever the user wants.
I believe it can already be teleoperated, and can likely be access from a specialized or non specialized system to take full control via the FSD cameras.
@spiritusinfinitus even better. I can do uber and it can do taxi service itself. Potrntial to make money there. But of course give it a few months or a year or two to fix out the bugs
It is designed to be low to the ground., which might make it challenging for older persons to get in and out of. If it is not going to be a highway car, I would prefer something more along the lines of the British cabs - taller with more headroom, and easier to step into.

@@ylzno if you’ve ever taken an autonomous cab, it’s jarring how exposed you are. And in the age of smart phones with cameras, everyone records the occupants while the car is in transit. Just don’t make the side window a fish bowl
It’s a cool vehicle! I think the Cybercab could help set the stage for the future of transportation: > EV > Fully self-driving > Wireless charging > 2 passenger vehicle Yep, sounds like the future transportation.
Great presentation Franz! Is the wireless charging a Tesla design or did you integrate that from a specific company that has been working in that space? I assume you will be developing a wireless charging capability across the country for this?
@@ChaseEdson # "retrofitting"? I would imagine the best method would be to position a unit in front of selected chargers "Bolted" to the floor and with a power conduit buried from the base of the supercharger, thus allowing both types of charging.
As I get older I consider how I will get around and I have seen enough dashcam videos of bad driving to want to take out the human equation. I think once the automated process has been achieved completely then ground effect low flying cars will also be closer to reality.😊
Low flying cars will be a nightmare. I have a drone that weighs 2 pounds and its noise is noticeable up to 300ft of altitude. The only way flying cars work is if they’re high altitude.
@@bjb7587 The benefit of flying is the increased speed of flight. A crash at 20ft off the ground is just as bad as 1,000ft if you’re going 250mph. 1,000 might be preferable as it gives you time to try and restart engines.
@kungfoochicken08 likely autotaxis will have motors rather than engines. Minimum cruising altitude of manned aircraft is 500', 100' above the max altitude of drones. You're proposing to mix these autotaxis with existing commercial and private traffic. I don't see it. People are already up in arms about the failures of Elon's Self Driving technology j two dimensions. Plus the issue of increasing energy usage in transportation with flyng taxis compare to ground transportation.
Franz is not designing the future, but a transportation revolution. From the vulgar Japanese and South Korean cars we are jumping in to a clean, refined, simple design. Instead to be offended from meaningless complication, we are relaxed from the simplicity. This is the revolution we needed and thank to Tesla and Franz we finally got it.
it can even take a small family of three with the offspring on the parents' lap. Connecting airports will love this. Hotels will love this. Parking areas with airport pivots will love it.
I think the Cybercab is a wonderful idea. I'm excited for the future. My only surprise is that the intial design of the Cybercab mimics a 2 seat compact sedan. I understand why 2 seats, but the sedan? Why not a 2 seat crossover SUV? As the population gets older and heavier, getting in and out of low sedan is problematic. I would have thought, after the sucess of Tesla Model Y over Model 3, that Tesla would have led with a higher, taller 2 seat mini cross over SUV more adapted to the buying public that can afford these vehicles. In any event..... You go Tesla. You are the best.
Sedan has the better shape for aero, as are the aero flat wheel covers and so forth. All of this enables a smaller battery and therefore better economics. Making it an SUV undoes lots of that, people would (unrealistically) expect it to go offroad (which is much harder for a pure self driving concept) etc.
I’m quite expecting they will release a disability and elderly friendly version of this or a SUV - since Franz mentioned these people as a key audience for Robotaxi rides. I want it to be able to take my parents around - esp as their eyesight gets worse over time. At some point I would feel safer a robo taxi take them than them driving themselves
The Models S/X have air suspension that lowers for better aero performance at high speed. They could potentially put air suspension in the Cybercab to raise the height when getting in/out of the vehicle. It may also help to be able to raise the vehicle for more clearance on dirt roads, etc.
If you are older you will be able to just call a model Y on the app. It will cost a little more as the car cost 2x to manufacture compared to the Cybercab.
This would be awesome for me if it were available in my country. I’d absolutely put my 2 little kids in there to get them to school and free my wife and I up in the mornings. Like - take the kids to school, charge yourself and come park yourself at home when done. Then pick them up in the afternoon after confirming with the teachers to get them in there on time. Priceless convenience. I’d pay too much for that actually. 😂😂
Always a pessimist? Name another company that has kept any promise about EV production. Gm and ford both said theyd have 16-18 new EVs in "2 years"....they said that in 2018.
@@NOXStellans Thank goodness we have plenty of optimists driving innovation striving for the impossible to happen and not worring about being a realist.
Improving redundancy is absolutely critical for autonomous driving. Multiple fail-safes, backup systems, and manual override options should be non-negotiable. That’s the only way I’d ever trust or use such a system. Safety should always come first!
You should look at some of the release notes for all of the FSD updates they've put out. There's a ton of information that might change your conception of Tesla's safety considerations. Id recommend Munro if you're looking at hardware specifically.
@@mattjenkins2244 if you don’t mind, could you explain how they plan to solve object detection? The biggest challenge with AI is the limited data it has to train on to recognize truly dangerous situations. Roads and vehicles are relatively easy to detect, but what happens with unexpected objects like a cement block in the middle of the road or random shapes the model wasn’t trained on? The problem with vision-based systems is that pixels don’t always translate to accurate object identification. Mist, glare can easily confuse an AI, leading to incorrect interpretations. I believe there needs to be a secondary method to confirm what the AI is seeing, beyond just camera vision. LiDAR, for example, should be a minimum standard. We cannot gamble with lives for the sake of reducing costs or relying on the belief that AI autonomy is infallible. Safety must come first, no matter the cost. Redundancy and alternative detection methods are non-negotiable.
@@markplott4820 If safety is truly a priority, use LiDAR and stop gambling with lives. Edge cases are impossible to fully train for just a bit of sun glare, snow, or even a drop of water on the camera lens, and the AI can become completely confused. If they could train the AI to handle every possible edge case, it would be a fantastic product. But edge cases are called that for a reason-they’re rare, unpredictable, and random. The misconception around AI is getting out of hand. You can’t train a model to predict or handle what it hasn’t seen before. That’s not how AI works, and it never will be. For this to succeed, you need a fundamentally different system that can perceive and interpret beyond its training data. Until then, good luck

I like the idea of being a passenger in my own car with the freedom to focus on buildings, landscapes, people, etc.
It’s all good until it goes bad , then it’s really really bad because you have zero control.
Great presentation Franz! Is the wireless charging a Tesla design or did you integrate that from a specific company that has been working in that space? I assume you will be developing a wireless charging capability across the country for this?
They bought a wireless charging company
they purchased an EV wireless charging company - will be retrofitting superchargers!

"retrofitting"?
I would imagine the best method would be to position a unit in front of selected chargers "Bolted" to the floor and with a power conduit buried from the base of the supercharger, thus allowing both types of charging.
@ yep :) i imagine this is what they’ll do
Why not make it a 3 seater with a full bench seat?
Love the wheels without any spokes it would be nice to sell this as a standalone product since americans really like driving themselves IMHO.
Extremely cool
As I get older I consider how I will get around and I have seen enough dashcam videos of bad driving to want to take out the human equation. I think once the automated process has been achieved completely then ground effect low flying cars will also be closer to reality.😊
You are not wrong there.
Low flying cars will be a nightmare. I have a drone that weighs 2 pounds and its noise is noticeable up to 300ft of altitude. The only way flying cars work is if they’re high altitude.
@@kungfoochicken08 yes, high altitude. What could go wrong?
@@bjb7587 The benefit of flying is the increased speed of flight. A crash at 20ft off the ground is just as bad as 1,000ft if you’re going 250mph. 1,000 might be preferable as it gives you time to try and restart engines.
@kungfoochicken08 likely autotaxis will have motors rather than engines.
Minimum cruising altitude of manned aircraft is 500', 100' above the max altitude of drones. You're proposing to mix these autotaxis with existing commercial and private traffic. I don't see it. People are already up in arms about the failures of Elon's Self Driving technology j two dimensions.
Plus the issue of increasing energy usage in transportation with flyng taxis compare to ground transportation.
I’d like to buy one or two.
P.S. I love this design. Thank you for posting this video.
Franz is not designing the future, but a transportation revolution. From the vulgar Japanese and South Korean cars we are jumping in to a clean, refined, simple design. Instead to be offended from meaningless complication, we are relaxed from the simplicity. This is the revolution we needed and thank to Tesla and Franz we finally got it.
Sooo rideahare drivers need to update their resumé. Got it! Thanks ✌🏾
Im excited to try to ride someday
Imagine the tech in 5 years
I saw this in real at the showroom in Stockholm Sweden last week and it’s stunning. I just wish I could get one today. Absolutely amazing.
I want it in my country
can't wait to experience it when available on the road
This car may just drive the undrived! 🚙
it can even take a small family of three with the offspring on the parents' lap. Connecting airports will love this. Hotels will love this. Parking areas with airport pivots will love it.
They are not doors, they are airlocks. No steering wheel? No rearview window? Seems like they got this self-driving nailed down.
Not even close…maybe in 20 years.
@@markbanducci1322You obviously have NO experience with latest version of FSD! Less than 2 years!
@@jezza6575 I’ll check back in two years to see how your comment has aged
@@markbanducci1322 News flash, FSD 13 drives 1-2h drives zero intervention. It's already here, some people just chose to ignore reality.
Looks futuristic!
I think the Cybercab is a wonderful idea. I'm excited for the future. My only surprise is that the intial design of the Cybercab mimics a 2 seat compact sedan. I understand why 2 seats, but the sedan? Why not a 2 seat crossover SUV? As the population gets older and heavier, getting in and out of low sedan is problematic. I would have thought, after the sucess of Tesla Model Y over Model 3, that Tesla would have led with a higher, taller 2 seat mini cross over SUV more adapted to the buying public that can afford these vehicles. In any event..... You go Tesla. You are the best.
Existing Y's and 3's and Cybertruck's will all be able to be added to the fleet...
Sedan has the better shape for aero, as are the aero flat wheel covers and so forth. All of this enables a smaller battery and therefore better economics. Making it an SUV undoes lots of that, people would (unrealistically) expect it to go offroad (which is much harder for a pure self driving concept) etc.
I’m quite expecting they will release a disability and elderly friendly version of this or a SUV - since Franz mentioned these people as a key audience for Robotaxi rides. I want it to be able to take my parents around - esp as their eyesight gets worse over time.
At some point I would feel safer a robo taxi take them than them driving themselves
The Models S/X have air suspension that lowers for better aero performance at high speed. They could potentially put air suspension in the Cybercab to raise the height when getting in/out of the vehicle. It may also help to be able to raise the vehicle for more clearance on dirt roads, etc.
If you are older you will be able to just call a model Y on the app. It will cost a little more as the car cost 2x to manufacture compared to the Cybercab.
The fact that this car has cost around or below $20k is astonishing!
200+ miles , not bad at all
This would be awesome for me if it were available in my country. I’d absolutely put my 2 little kids in there to get them to school and free my wife and I up in the mornings. Like - take the kids to school, charge yourself and come park yourself at home when done. Then pick them up in the afternoon after confirming with the teachers to get them in there on time. Priceless convenience. I’d pay too much for that actually. 😂😂
If this thing had world leading saftey ratings in a crash, breakable windows, limited speed, and was cheap, id let it drive me
TESLA tests for 6 STAR crash safety.
You’ll let it drive you
Pretty cool concept. Thanks for sharing…
"For the cost of a bus transit" / "Available right now"
Only The Bus on Oahu doesn't suck.
Yeahhhh, he oversold it a bit there.
By "right now" he means soonish.
And by "Cost of a bus transit" he means eventually 🤣
Always a pessimist? Name another company that has kept any promise about EV production. Gm and ford both said theyd have 16-18 new EVs in "2 years"....they said that in 2018.
@@tabbott429 Realist ≠ Pessimist - Dream hard.Work hard. But don't "lie hard".
@@NOXStellans Thank goodness we have plenty of optimists driving innovation striving for the impossible to happen and not worring about being a realist.
Wow!!!! That will be amazing❤
How could anyone thumbs down this?
They are still hoping Kamala wins.
Very beautiful and authentic design.
Improving redundancy is absolutely critical for autonomous driving. Multiple fail-safes, backup systems, and manual override options should be non-negotiable. That’s the only way I’d ever trust or use such a system. Safety should always come first!
You should look at some of the release notes for all of the FSD updates they've put out. There's a ton of information that might change your conception of Tesla's safety considerations. Id recommend Munro if you're looking at hardware specifically.
@@mattjenkins2244 if you don’t mind, could you explain how they plan to solve object detection? The biggest challenge with AI is the limited data it has to train on to recognize truly dangerous situations. Roads and vehicles are relatively easy to detect, but what happens with unexpected objects like a cement block in the middle of the road or random shapes the model wasn’t trained on?
The problem with vision-based systems is that pixels don’t always translate to accurate object identification. Mist, glare can easily confuse an AI, leading to incorrect interpretations. I believe there needs to be a secondary method to confirm what the AI is seeing, beyond just camera vision. LiDAR, for example, should be a minimum standard.
We cannot gamble with lives for the sake of reducing costs or relying on the belief that AI autonomy is infallible. Safety must come first, no matter the cost. Redundancy and alternative detection methods are non-negotiable.
EVERY Tesla vehicle is designed SAFETY First , then Efficiency.
@@markplott4820 If safety is truly a priority, use LiDAR and stop gambling with lives. Edge cases are impossible to fully train for just a bit of sun glare, snow, or even a drop of water on the camera lens, and the AI can become completely confused.
If they could train the AI to handle every possible edge case, it would be a fantastic product. But edge cases are called that for a reason-they’re rare, unpredictable, and random. The misconception around AI is getting out of hand. You can’t train a model to predict or handle what it hasn’t seen before. That’s not how AI works, and it never will be.
For this to succeed, you need a fundamentally different system that can perceive and interpret beyond its training data. Until then, good luck
Great presentation!
