Tesla Reveals Robotaxi Interface and Hardware
 
															In a groundbreaking move poised to redefine autonomous transportation, Tesla has officially unveiled the user interface and hardware for its long-anticipated Robotaxi platform. The reveal—delivered during the company’s latest Autonomy Day event—marks a decisive step toward Elon Musk’s vision of a fully driverless, AI-powered ride-hailing ecosystem.
A Glimpse Into the Future of Autonomous Mobility
The new Robotaxi hardware platform, internally codenamed “Cybercab,” showcases a sleek, cabin-first vehicle design with no steering wheel, pedals, or traditional controls. Instead, passengers interact with the vehicle through an immersive, screen-based interface powered by Tesla’s latest FSD (Full Self-Driving) architecture.
This fully electric, purpose-built vehicle features:
- 
A spacious, minimalist interior for up to 4 passengers 
- 
Embedded high-resolution touchscreens and voice-control systems 
- 
Ambient lighting, biometric authentication, and adaptive climate zones 
- 
No driver cockpit—maximizing space and comfort for riders 
The external design takes cues from the Cybertruck’s industrial aesthetic, blending form and function into a futuristic, autonomous silhouette.
FSD V12.5 Powers Level 5 Autonomy
Tesla confirmed that the Robotaxi platform is built on FSD Version 12.5, its most advanced full self-driving software to date. This version leverages end-to-end neural networks trained on millions of miles of real-world driving data, enabling full urban autonomy without human intervention.
The system includes upgraded sensor suites:
- 
HD radar, ultrasonics, and thermal imaging 
- 
360-degree camera coverage with enhanced low-light vision 
- 
Redundant compute via Tesla’s custom Dojo AI chips 
Tesla claims the Robotaxi has surpassed human driver safety benchmarks in simulated and controlled real-world testing scenarios.
A Redefined Passenger Experience
The Robotaxi user interface offers a frictionless, app-first experience. Riders can:
- 
Book rides directly via the Tesla app or third-party integrations 
- 
Set preferences for music, lighting, temperature, and silence mode 
- 
View real-time trip analytics, ETA, and carbon offset savings 
- 
Enable “Productivity Mode” with screen mirroring and Bluetooth keyboard support 
In-ride monetization features are also being explored, including digital ads, on-demand content streaming, and premium workspace subscriptions—positioning Robotaxi as a platform for both transport and experience economy.
