Tesla is holding its 'We, Robot' event today, which is expected to unveil its new Robotaxi, a self-driving car.
Here, you will find our event news site, which will contain all the most important information about the event and our viewing party.
Before the 'We, Robot' event was called “unveiling the future of autonomy”, Tesla called today's 10/10 event “the unveiling of the Robotaxi”.
The Tesla Robotaxi is a car that CEO Elon Musk has been talking about for the past two years.
Starting in 2016, Musk said that all Tesla cars built since then will be able to fully drive themselves with future software updates that allow owners to use them as “robotaxis”.
That hasn't happened yet and Musk made some owners nervous when he started talking about Tesla building a new car dedicated to self-driving: the Robotaxi, also sometimes called the Cybercab.
This launch event will not only be exciting as we get our first official look at Tesla's new car, but many Tesla owners and shareholders want to know how this new dedicated car fits into Tesla's self-driving effort.
The car itself is expected to be a two-seater with butterfly wing doors, no pedals or steering wheel, and a Cybertruck-inspired design.
Considering the event is about autonomy, we expect Tesla to also give an update about Optimus, its humanoid robot, at the event.
There could also be a surprise unveiling of Tesla's upcoming new vehicles, such as the next-generation Roadster or two affordable cars based on the Model 3 and Model Y.
Tesla held the event at Warner Brothers' studio in Los Angeles, which has non-public roads. Some have speculated that Tesla held the event there to demonstrate self-driving cars without obtaining a permit, which the automaker has avoided coming to California for years.
The event is scheduled to begin at 7 PM local time or 10 PM ET, and will be streamed live here:
