Is Tesla’s Robotaxi a bold step or a mistake?
After months, in fact years of waiting, Tesla recently revealed Robotaxi last October. A lot of analysis went to the new self -driving car.
The company revealed the long -awaited Robotaxi with two papules of wings and there is no wheel or pedals. “Cybercab” is two and low seats, which is a design out of the idea of a taxi at the present time, causing criticism of experts, given that a taxi usually contains an area of more than one passengers.
“When you think about a taxi, think about something that carries more than two people.” Reuters It was quoted by Jonathan Al -Fallan, Vehicle Exam Director for Automotive Edmunds.com. “If this is very confusing, this is very confusing.”
The design caused 9 % stumbling of Tesla. But buyers were already lining up. Palo Alto, the home of the Tesla Engineering headquarters, is holding talks with the car maker to deploy a fleet of robots in the city.

ELON Musk says that Cybercab, which was built without a driving wheel or pedals, will start production by 2026 or 2027. But we know Tesla and the final dates are not synchronous.
The fact that the design is FSD (full self -driving), raises concerns about regulations.
It is interesting to see the change in the consumer of cars where the world is pushed towards automatic cars. Design like Tesla’s Cybercab, which is FSD, means a tecton shift in how the consumer perceives the car. Research continues to influence espionage and social response on the transition from man to automatic leadership. Research also says that drivers are more likely to engage in non -leaders, such as examining their phones or eating a sandwich, when using partial automation systems, with some rules that easily avoid reducing deviations.
Tesla is not the only one to offer a driver without a driver. As of September, Uber and Waymo have started offering driver -free ride flights in Austin and Atlanta.
Other concerns on another level. The United States is cautious about Chinese programs in independent and independent vehicles. The automatic car is a piece of a huge machine that can achieve a lot of damage if penetrated.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence (AI) also enters the area of cars. Japan’s Toyota has announced that it was linked to the Chinese Tinsin, while Nissan will cooperate with Baidu. Shedding light on separate ads from two of the largest car manufacturers in Japan at the Beijing Motor Show on the importance of artificial intelligence.
What drivers today want: artificial intelligence
According to the continental movement of 2024, the majority (54 %) of younger drivers in countries such as Germany, France, Japan, and the United States are the symbol of the situation. They are especially excited about technological progress in cars. They are looking for the benefits that self -driving cars will provide with regard to the ability to read or play video or work (51 % from 25 to 34 years). In addition to independent leadership, artificial intelligence (AI) has a great popular vocal aide in this group.
“The results show that the response to new technologies such as automated driving, large offers and AI in cars are very different between generations and also between countries. Says Philip von Hershheed, a member of the CEO of Continental, responsible for the auto group sector, and commenting on the survey results:” this is. It is the reason that we aim to provide custom solutions for the market, and make them specially and standard. “
About two -thirds younger -to -34 years old also believes that modern technologies should be mandatory in newly registered cars to make traffic safer, a perception indicating the direction of the European Union that requires some of the assistance of the advanced driver in new cars, which have been in effect since July 2024.
Another future technique is especially popular among young people is artificial intelligence assistants in cars. Nearly three quarters of the respondents (74 %) between the ages of 18 and 34 would welcome the voice of artificial intelligence the shipping station, search for free parking places or even collect personal messages.

“Young people in particular have changes to cars. Philip von Hershidt explains,” In Continental, we are already profit from artificial intelligence, this is closely related to leading technologies such as automated driving, which provides new user experiences, “adding,” in Continental, we are already. Equipped cars with artificial intelligence. Along with our Google Cloud partner, we have developed a virtual companion for drivers. We are especially proud to be one of the first car suppliers around the world to merge Google Cloud apps directly into our computers. “
Acting virtual travel companion, large screens
The comparison between the two countries reveals openness on a large scale to lead the automated and independent mechanism in Asia across all age groups. In China, nine in 10 of the respondents (90 %) view the relevant techniques as a useful development, while in Japan, approximately three quarters (72 %) shares this feeling. In France (60 %) and the United States of America (56 %), more than half of those surveyed have a positive position. In Germany, about one of the two respondents (49 %) feels the same.
The virtual travel companion, who works with the Ten Male, is common in China, where nine out of 10 of the respondents (91 %) says they want to obtain such a service. In the United States (66 %) and Japan (63 %), about two -thirds of this desire crosses, while in France (58 %) and Germany (57 %) more than half will be happy with technology.
There is a wide agreement in all countries on the ideal size to display the car for information and entertainment content. Most people prefer larger screens (China 90 %, Germany 81 %, France 79 %, 80 % from the United States, and Japan 69 %). However, preferences vary greatly when it comes to technological details. While the Japanese and German prefer a simpler display on the car screens, the minor majority in the United States prefer more colors. Voice control is especially popular in Japan and China, while the number is much lower in Germany.
