Musk Promises 'Robotaxi' Unveiling Amid Questions Over Past Claims
• Elon Musk announced on Twitter that Tesla will unveil a "robotaxi" on August 8 • This comes after Musk denied a Reuters report that Tesla was scrapping plans for a low-cost electric vehicle • Musk has a history of making big announcements to divert attention from potential failures • In 2020, Musk had claimed Tesla robotaxis with full autonomy would be ready that year, but they have yet to materialize • It's unclear if the August 8 unveiling will truly showcase fully autonomous taxis or be more smoke and mirrors
