The CyberCab's design philosophy completely overturns traditional cars, with no steering wheel or pedals, relying entirely on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system.
The exterior design of the CyberCab continues the futuristic style of the Cybertruck, featuring a dual butterfly door structure that enhances the sense of technology and facilitates passenger entry and exit. The body adopts a streamlined design with a continuous front and rear lighting setup, and the overall size is relatively compact.

It's worth noting that the CyberCab's headlights can provide a variety of lighting modes for both daily illumination and safety warnings.
Musk pointed out during the event that people currently invest too much time and cost in transportation, while the actual utilization rate of cars is very low.
He stated that a car might only be used for about 10 hours in a week. The introduction of the CyberCab aims to significantly increase the efficiency of car use and reduce costs through autonomous driving technology.
In addition to the CyberCab, the event also covered several other key topics. Tesla is expected to reveal more details about its autonomous driving network service, which will serve as a crucial platform for Tesla's autonomous driving technology.
Additionally, the company might showcase the latest progress on its humanoid robot, Optimus, as well as a mysterious new model, possibly a van or a more affordable car, aimed at competing with the growing market for affordable electric vehicles in China.
This event is not only a stage for Tesla to demonstrate its technological prowess but also a public test of whether Musk can deliver on truly autonomous driving technology. This technology will directly compete with robotaxi companies like Waymo and Cruise, marking a further intensification of competition in the autonomous driving sector.
Tesla's technology showcase once again proves the company's leading role in driving innovation in the automotive industry and the development of autonomous driving technology. The introduction of the CyberCab not only brings scenes from science fiction into reality but also offers new possibilities for the future of urban transportation systems.
