But despite his many reassurances that an autonomous car would be a reality "next year," the company still doesn't have a lot to show.

On Thursday, the EV maker held its long-awaited "robotaxi" event, showing off a prototype of its "Cybercab," which will allegedly go into production in 2026 and cost under $30,000.  Musk also showed off a separate "robovan" that can carry up to 20 passengers.

A prototype Cybercab, a flashy two-seater with no steering wheel or pedals, was seen navigating some mocked-up streets at the event that ironically took place inside a Hollywood movie studio.
