CyberCab / Tesla Robotaxi Discussion
- Thread starter Buckminster
- Start date
The interesting speculation is whether or not the Robotaxi has a windscreen and front windows.
The best windscreen is no windscreen, and no windscreen wiper.
If the 25K vehicle is a "stretch Robotaxi" I think it will have a windscreen and side mirrors. Cameras and screens can do the job, but regulators might not be ready for that.
So I think he 25K car could be fairly like a regular compact hatchback, if that was true I don't know why Elon would say it was from the future.
A Robotaxi with no windscreen definitely looks like something from the future.
For the 25K vehicle, perhaps the pivot point for the front opening hatch is after the windscreen?
There needs to be some compromise which makes the 25K vehicle look futuristc.

It would be interesting to know if some view out of the font of the car (as opposed to a view on a screen) is necessary to avoid car sickness and if a windscreen wiper is needed just to ensure that result.
If that is a problem, watching a movie, playing a game, or reading a book in a moving Robotaxi would also be a problem.
People regularly perform these activities in planes and trains.
A smooth non-jerky ride is needed to increase the range of activities that can be comfortably performed, most customers will prefer to go slower rather than refrain from activities, but individual tolerance may vary.
I now think I might have misinterpreted the sketch of a possible Robotaxi, but this is an interesting area of speculation.

This is what the Tesla Model 2, the £22,000 electric compact, will look like.
Don't miss our recreation of the Tesla Model 2, the electric compact that will arrive in 2025 and go on sale for around €25,000 or approximately £22,000.

I think this is pretty perfect, except it will fore sure (HOPEFULLY) not have FWD. Not doable for that pricetag and maybe for once, they should REALLY focus on getting it easy to manufacture
Could be used down the line on Robotaxis:
