Tesla CEO Elon Musk told attendees at a party to celebrate the opening of a factory in Texas that his company is in the process of making a car intended to be used as a robot taxi, and will start making 3 new cars next year.
Musk gave no details of the automated taxis other than saying that they "look very futuristic."
He also said that Tesla will start making the Cybertruck truck at its new plant near Austin, Texas next year.
After that, he said, it will start making a new semi-electric roadster.
Musk made his remarks Thursday night at the "Cyber Rodeo in Giga Texas", a party dedicated solely to thousands of guests at Tesla's new billion-dollar plant.
Up to 15,000 people were expected to attend the special event hosted to celebrate the opening of the new plant in Travis County that also serves as the company's new headquarters after it relocated from California.
