The Cybercab is a critical product for Tesla, as Musk stakes the company’s future on self-driving technology amid increased competition from established automakers and Chinese manufacturers. Advertisement“Let’s not get nuanced here,” Musk said onstage, after an attendee yelled from the audience, asking when the Cybercab would be available. To date, the agency has granted only one general exemption for a fully autonomous vehicle to Nuro, a low-speed delivery robot.

He said Musk should have spent more time outlining the company’s strategic vision for autonomous driving but that he didn’t view the event as disappointing.
