14 Photos Tesla has revealed its largest passenger-carrying vehicle – an autonomous electric bus known as the Robovan – with futuristic styling unlike anything else on the road. The US car giant says the Robovan will eventually go into production, but it is unclear when it will hit the road. A concept of the bus was unveiled alongside the Cybercab, a small two-seat autonomous 'robotaxi' due to launch in the US in 2026 – and a newer version of Tesla's in-development 'Optimus' humanoid robot. Next Both vehicles – the Cybercab and Robovan – will be driven by the next iteration of Tesla's Full Self-Driving software, powered exclusively by cameras, rather than the expensive lidar sensors chosen by rival autonomous-car makers. The current version of so-called 'Full Self-Driving' requires an attentive driver behind the wheel – ready to take over from the car at any time. From 2025, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claims this will no longer be required, with the launch of an 'unsupervised' update available first in the current Model 3 and Model Y on roads in Texas and California, ahead of the Cybercab's planned 2026 introduction. A global expansion of Full Self-Driving is promised, but given the supervised version of the system is not available outside North America, it could be a number of years before the unsupervised technology launches in Australia and Europe.
