Tesla nonetheless seems unclear concerning the names of its new autonomous autos, which have been unveiled earlier this month. The automaker has filed for brand new logos.
Since Tesla’s ‘Robotaxi’ unveiling earlier this month, we haven’t been clear on the official names of the 2 autos unveiled on the occasion.
Previous to the occasion, CEO Elon Musk referred to it as each ‘Cybercab’ and ‘Robotaxi’.
Each phrases have been additionally used through the occasion.
Tesla solely has a really quick net web page concerning the new car (and Robovan) on its web site and it refers to them as ‘Robotaxi’ and ‘Robovan’:
Throughout the occasion, Musk repeatedly referred to the ‘Robovan’ as “ruh-BO-vin”.
Final week, Electrek discovered new trademark purposes filed by Tesla that will hopefully make clear the names of those new autos. The logos have been for ‘Robotaxi’ and ‘Robobus’.
Now, Tesla has filed extra logos for ‘Cybercab’ and ‘Cyberbus’:
Tesla has had issues up to now with different individuals submitting logos for the corporate, however these are all listed as being filed by Tesla’s typical trademark lawyer: Anthony V. Lupo.
The automaker filed the logos for the precise electrical autos and one for the ridesharing and basic industrial use of the autos.
Electrek’s Take
It’s a bit unusual for Tesla to have unveiled these autos whereas they nonetheless don’t have clear names, however I do favor these newest filings as trademarking “robotaxi” appears to be reaching.
However on the similar time, the complete occasion was sort of a multitude.
Tesla has been making an attempt to defend itself by saying that they have been making an attempt to showcase “their imaginative and prescient of autonomy”, however I feel most critical individuals don’t care about that. We are able to think about the longer term with self-driving autos and humanoid robots.
What we wish to know is how you intend to get there. This occasion was principally ineffective on that entrance.
