Tesla’s (TSLA) long-awaited Robotaxi launch is finally happening on June 22 in Austin, Texas. CEO Elon Musk is expected to unveil the Cybercab — Tesla’s first fully autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel or brake pedals. It’s a bold move that could ignite Tesla’s next wave of growth… or leave an opening for fast-rising competitors to take the lead.
While this headline moment dominates the news cycle, investors shouldn’t ignore the rest of the autonomous vehicle (AV) playing field. Companies like Amazon’s (AMZN) Zoox, Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Waymo, Uber (UBER), Nvidia (NVDA), WeRide (WRD), Innoviz (INVZ), and Aeva (AEVA) are also moving rapidly into the self-driving car arena — and some of their stocks are already heating up.
What’s So Big About Robotaxi Day?
Tesla’s Cybercab isn’t just a new vehicle; it’s a fully autonomous, driverless platform aimed at revolutionizing mobility. The June 22 event marks a critical milestone for Tesla’s artificial intelligence (AI) roadmap, and investors are watching closely for product details and updates on federal approvals.
Even better? Tesla just received a regulatory boost from the Trump administration, which plans to fast-track approvals for autonomous vehicles without traditional controls — a perfect fit for Tesla’s Cybercab design.
Robotaxi Rivals Are Moving Fast
Amazon is building a 220,000 square foot robotaxi factory in California to produce up to 10,000 autonomous vehicles a year through its Zoox acquisition.
Uber, in partnership with Volkswagen (VWAGY), is bringing driverless ID.Buzz vans to U.S. streets — starting in Los Angeles with commercial launch by 2026.
Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet, is already one of the most established names in autonomous driving. And Nvidia-backed WeRide just scored a major partnership with Tencent (TCEHY) and is expanding across Asia and Europe.
Don’t Sleep on the Technology
Stocks like Innoviz (INVZ) and AEVA Technologies (AEVA) are getting attention for their advanced LiDAR systems and recent deal activity.
AEVA, in particular, has surged over 400% in 2025, and both stocks currently hold a “Buy” signal on Barchart's Opinion indicators.
Check Out Tesla’s Trading Setup
Barchart’s Gamma Exposure Tool shows a key setup for traders:
- Large positive gamma spike at $330
- Negative gamma clusters starting at $315
- Gamma Flip turns negative at $308
This setup suggests we could see more volatility in TSLA stock as we approach the June 22 event — especially if price action challenges these levels.
What’s The Takeaway?
While TSLA is in focus right now, the bigger story isn't about just Tesla anymore. With massive capital flowing into robotaxis, quantum AI, and autonomous driving, the next wave of winners could come from anywhere in the supply chain — not just the top dogs.
