Tesla reveals Cybercab with built-in Starlink V5 antenna
Tesla has unveiled a teaser image of its upcoming Cybercab, a robotaxi concept that features a built-in SpaceX Starlink V5 antenna. The image, shared on social media, shows the vehicle's roof-mounted dish, suggesting the Cybercab will have direct satellite internet connectivity. This integration would allow the autonomous taxi to stay online without relying on cellular networks, potentially improving navigation, over-the-air updates, and passenger Wi-Fi. The Cybercab is expected to be fully self-driving and was first announced by Elon Musk in 2019. Tesla plans to produce the vehicle at its Texas factory, with a target launch in 2024 or 2025. The inclusion of Starlink technology could give Tesla an edge over competitors by ensuring constant connectivity in remote areas. However, regulatory approval for autonomous vehicles remains a hurdle. The teaser indicates Tesla is moving closer to production, but no official release date has been confirmed.
