Editorial summaries

Cybercab

The Tesla Cybercab is a purpose-built two-seat robotaxi vehicle Tesla unveiled in October 2024, with a stated sub-$30,000 target price (Musk). It is not for sale to consumers: Tesla says production began in 2026 at Giga Texas, but DEPLOY classifies its maturity as research, early output is capped, and the Cybercab is intended first for Tesla's own Robotaxi service fleet. Cybercab is the vehicle; Tesla Robotaxi is the service that would run it.

Waymo Driver 6th-gen

The sixth-generation Waymo Driver is Waymo's autonomous-driving stack for fully autonomous robotaxi service, and the verified-commercial anchor of DEPLOY's robotaxi cluster. There is no consumer price: a Waymo is a ride service, not a vehicle sold to consumers. It integrates 13 cameras, 4 lidars, 6 radars, and external audio receivers with up to roughly 500m detection range, using 42% fewer sensors than the 5th-gen Jaguar I-PACE system, and runs on the purpose-built Zeekr RT (sold as the 'Ojai', no steering wheel or pedals) and the Hyundai IONIQ 5. It began fully autonomous commercial operations in February 2026. One verified-vs-claimed cap-flag: Waymo states a per-unit hardware cost target under $20,000 (a more-than-50% reduction from the 5th-gen system), but that is a stated manufacturing target, not a consumer price.
