Tesla Robotaxi event: How to watch the reveal Thursday


Tesla loves to put on a show, and Thursday’s Robotaxi reveal might just be the flashiest of them all.  The electric vehicle maker is slated to unveil

The company’s advanced driver-assistance system is rather brazenly named Full Self-Driving (FSD), despite the fact that it is not fully self-driving and requires a human driver to pay attention and take over if needed — a fact that is borne out again and again in drive-along videos that fans regularly post on social media. When Musk first floated the idea of robotaxis in 2019, the idea was that some existing Teslas would be able to act as autonomous robotaxis with only software updates, potentially unlocking an opportunity for Tesla owners to make money from their cars when not driving them. At the time, Musk said that in places where there aren’t enough people to share their cars, Tesla would provide a dedicated fleet of robotaxis.
