Tesla will launch unique robotaxis by 2024: they will not have a steering wheel or pedals

Elon Musk shared his vision for a fully autonomous robotaxi at Tesla's Q1 conference.

The entrepreneur also proposed holding a special event next year before the car goes into production in 2024.

He said that the car would not have a steering wheel,no pedals, as it will be “highly optimized for autonomy.” Musk also sees the new car as "the driving force behind Tesla's next phase of growth." The point is that it will be optimized to provide the lowest cost per kilometer of travel.

The most important factor to consider isthere will be the cost of the car itself, which will likely be revised in the future. Tesla recently raised prices on current models. Musk blamed this on high inflation, which caused the cost of parts to increase by as much as 30%, CNBC reported.
