Tesla's transition from electric vehicle maker to physical AI company is marked by key milestones: the 2024 We, Robot event announcing its pivot, the 2025 launch of the Robotaxi service, the Cybercab launch event in September 2026, and forthcoming Optimus developments, all integrating autonomy, robotics, and AI infrastructure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Autonomous Vehicles.
