According to Sawyer Merritt, Rimac has revealed its first robotaxi prototype fleet, featuring Level 4 fully autonomous driving capabilities powered by advanced AI systems, including integrated cameras, radar, and LiDAR. The two-seater electric vehicles are designed for premium passenger experience with a 43-inch display and 17 speakers. Rimac, through its new subsidiary Verne, plans to deploy the AI-driven robotaxi service in Croatia by 2026 and has already secured agreements for expansion into 11 cities across the EU, UK, and the Middle East. The company has begun construction of a dedicated factory in Croatia, set to open in February 2025, to manufacture these AI-enabled autonomous vehicles, marking a significant business opportunity in the growing autonomous mobility and ride-hailing sector (source: Sawyer Merritt).

According to Sawyer Merritt, new images of the production-ready Cybercab interior reveal several updates with direct implications for AI-powered autonomous vehicles. The refreshed design features a new door card with advanced ambient lighting, a redesigned dashboard with a possible AI-managed air vent system, and upgraded ergonomic seating. These improvements suggest a focus on enhancing passenger experience and integrating advanced human-machine interfaces, crucial for the commercial deployment of AI-driven robotaxi fleets. The business opportunity lies in leveraging such AI-interfaced interiors to differentiate autonomous vehicle services and improve adoption rates in urban mobility markets (Source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Nov 7, 2025).

According to Sawyer Merritt, Cathie Wood stated that ARK Invest has set a 2030 price target of $2,600 for Tesla, with 90% of the valuation attributed to the anticipated proliferation of AI-powered robotaxis. She further mentioned that the target could increase if Tesla's humanoid robot technology develops faster than projected (Source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter). This analysis highlights how advancements in autonomous driving and robotics, powered by AI, are central to Tesla's future business model and multi-trillion-dollar market opportunity. The focus on AI-driven robotaxi services and humanoid robots positions Tesla as a leader in the AI mobility and robotics markets, offering significant opportunities for investors and technology partners.

According to @SawyerMerritt citing @theallinpod, Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla's upcoming Cybercab will not include a steering wheel, underscoring Tesla's commitment to fully autonomous vehicle technology. This bold move highlights the rapid advancement of AI-powered self-driving systems and signals a significant shift in the automotive industry towards driverless mobility solutions. The absence of a steering wheel demonstrates Tesla's confidence in its AI stack and positions the company to disrupt the ride-hailing and robotaxi market, creating new business opportunities for AI-driven fleet management and smart transportation services. This development could accelerate the adoption of autonomous vehicles and reshape urban mobility, as businesses and city planners increasingly invest in AI-enabled transport infrastructure (Source: @SawyerMerritt via @theallinpod, October 31, 2025).

According to Sawyer Merritt on X (formerly Twitter), Jim Cramer emphasized this week that Elon Musk’s use of AI is central to Tesla’s leadership in full self-driving technology and the emerging Robotaxi market. Cramer noted that Tesla’s price-competitive self-driving solution and anticipated relentless demand for its AI-powered 'cyber cab' position the company strongly in autonomous mobility. He further highlighted Musk’s focus on AI-powered battery technology and energy storage, which addresses the hyperscaler data center sector’s urgent energy needs. Additionally, Cramer cited Optimus, Tesla’s AI-driven humanoid robotics initiative, as a compelling business opportunity, with Musk approaching robot mass production as a startup to overcome industry obstacles. These AI advancements present significant growth avenues for Tesla beyond auto sales, particularly in robotics and energy infrastructure, according to Cramer (source: Sawyer Merritt, X/Twitter, 2024-10-26).
