Tesla is shifting its focus toward autonomous technology with plans to phase out manual driving in its lineup, with the upcoming Roadster set to be the company’s last vehicle requiring human control. The move aligns with Tesla’s broader strategy of advancing robotaxis and AI-driven vehicles, signaling a major shift in how the automaker approaches electric mobility. While the Roadster will remain Tesla’s sole manually operated model, the company appears determined to accelerate its push into fully autonomous systems. Industry observers are watching closely as Tesla redefines its roadmap for the future of driving.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the new Roadster would become the EV maker's only manually driven vehicle as it pivots to robotaxis and robots.
