The evening began with a self-driving cab… and ended with a crew of robots dancing beneath a disco ball. It wasn’t a sci-fi movie. It was a real product launch last Thursday night… Tesla’s much-hyped “We, Robot” event.
The event gave the market a drama-filled glimpse of Tesla’s newest product prototypes. And the biggest announcement of the evening was the Cybercab – the futuristic car that kicked off the proceedings.
Autonomous cars like the Cybercab have been in the works for more than two decades. But development has been slow and full of setbacks.
But focusing only on Tesla is the wrong move today. Other companies are leading the way on this trend. And self-driving technology is much closer to becoming mainstream than most folks expect today.
