Elon Musk unveiled a prototype of the Robovan, an autonomous electric car that can accommodate up to 20 people. The design is like from a video game, it should fit into autonomous public transport.
At the We, Robot event in Los Angeles, Elon Musk presented a new prototype of the Robovan autonomous electric vehicle. This car, the size of a bus, is intended to transport people in densely populated areas and can accommodate up to 20 passengers. The car will also be able to carry cargo. However, Musk has yet to reveal details about the price, production or launch date.
The design of the Robovan is retro-futuristic, with elements reminiscent of a mix of a bus from The Jetsons and appliances from the 1950s. On its sides, silver metal surfaces with black details and illuminated stripes stand out. The interior is adapted for sitting and standing, and instead of a steering wheel, thanks to its autonomy, it only has a spacious interior with tinted windows.

Although the Robovan looks impressive, it is still only a prototype. Tesla did not say how close it is to final production or when the vehicle might hit the market. Robovan aims to contribute to the transformation of roads and the futuristic look of public transport.

This rather strange bus looks really impressive, but it’s a shame that Musk didn’t speak very specifically at the event and we’ve defacto seen a prototype, but we don’t know how functional or realistic it is.
