Originally, the launch was supposed to take place earlier this year, but now it's finally time for what has been dubbed "Robotaxi Day". The founder and CEO, Elon Musk, will take the stage tonight at the film and TV giant Warner Bros' film studio in Los Angeles and present the car giant's new venture.

In brief, it's about a car model that will function as a self-driving taxi. Media speculations ahead of the event have suggested that it will be a car model without a steering wheel or pedals and with minimalist interior design and only two seats.

By using Tesla's app, customers will be able to order and ride in the taxi. Vehicle owners will also be able to connect their cars to Tesla's taxi system and thereby receive a share of the revenue, according to various speculations in industry media. Even older car models will be able to connect. However, there are many question marks, primarily regarding the regulatory framework for self-driving cars.

Currently, Google's company Waymo is already on the American market for self-driving taxis, but there have been a number of incidents involving traffic accidents.
