The 38-second clip, mostly filmed from inside a driverless Cybercab, showed the vehicle rolling off the factory floor and driving onto public streets.

Tesla said on Wednesday it remains on track to begin volume production of both its Cybercab and Tesla Semi this year, after reporting first-quarter profits of $477 million.

The Cybercab—marketed as a fully autonomous robotaxi without a steering wheel or pedals—was first unveiled in autumn 2024, with Musk predicting at the time that it would become available in 2027.

Tesla began offering robotaxi services to early access users on an invitation-only basis in Austin, Texas, last June.
