Tesla's two-seat Cybercab, without steering wheel or pedals, now serves Austin public
↗
Tesla has started public rides in Austin using its purpose-built Cybercab, a two-seat robotaxi without steering wheel or pedals.
This marks Tesla's shift from retrofitted Model Ys to a purpose-built robotaxi with no manual controls, a significant design change for autonomous vehicle engineering. The public launch in Austin will test the Cybercab's reliability and user experience in real-world conditions, and the registered 45 Cybercabs indicate a small initial fleet. Engineers will watch how the vehicle handles edge cases without a human fallback.
