Tesla's self-driving taxi, the Cybercab, has begun production and CEO Elon Musk stated that it will be'very slow' due to the time required to organize the supply chain and production. This comes after Tesla launched its first autonomous Robotaxi vehicle in October 2024. The company's production goal was initially 2 million Cybercabs per year, or about 38,000 per week. However, Musk stated during the Tesla earnings call that rigorous validation would ensure safety. The NHTSA is investigating 3.2 million Tesla vehicles with Full Self-Driving driver-assistance due to concerns that Tesla's camera-based system failed to detect common road conditions. The global driverless taxi market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 99%, reaching an estimated $147 billion by 2033.
