Tesla unveils retro-futuristic art deco Robovan
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unveiled the brand's long-awaited driverless Robotaxi as well as surprise prototype Robovan at the We, Robot event in Los Angeles, USA.
Musk arrived at the launch event at Warner Bros Studios in the fully autonomous Robotaxi, which he dubbed a "Cybercab". However, the star of the show was the surprise reveal of the Robovan prototype.
The prototype Robovan was unveiled yesterday in Los Angeles
Designed to carry 20 people, the fully autonomous Robovan has a retro-futuristic style. With its sleek form and angled facade, the Robovan has a shape that recalls the streamlined, art deco trains designed in the 1920s and 30s at the end of steam.
The van has no visible front or rear windows and features a single slim headlight across its front. This extends to multiple bands that run around the vehicle. It was designed to hold 20 people
According to Musk, much like the recently released Cybertruck, the Robovan was deliberately designed to have a different aesthetic to existing vehicles.
"Now, can you imagine going down the streets and you see this coming towards you" ," he said at the event. "That'd be sick."
"One of the things we want to do, and we've seen this with the Cybertruck, is we want to change the look of the roads," he continued. "The future should look like the future."
