Tesla posted a picture of a gold Cybercab at the Giga Texas factory featuring a Starlink satellite antenna integrated into its roof. Back in July, only a concept drawing was shown, but this time it is a real car.
Key points to know:
• Cybercab is a steering wheel-less, pedal-less electric vehicle (EV) designed for a driverless taxi service
• It drives autonomously powered by an onboard AI4 chip — no internet connection is required to operate
• This service initially operates in 4 major cities (Austin, Houston, Dallas, Miami) where cellular coverage is already strong
• Tesla states this antenna helps track the vehicle in remote areas; target price is $30,000
[Insight: The car can self-drive without internet, making this antenna almost useless in cities. However, it is essential when the driverless car travels to rural roads.]
