Tesla launches Cybercab in Austin, US regulator opens probe
–
Neutral summary
Tesla began commercial operations of its Cybercab robotaxi in Austin, Texas, on September 3: the two-seat electric vehicle, designed exclusively for autonomous driving, has no steering wheel or pedals. The next day, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened an investigation into Tesla to determine whether the company properly self-certified up to 1,000 Cybercabs as meeting federal safety standards, given the absence of traditional controls such as a steering wheel, pedals and rearview mirrors. Tesla's shares fell about 6–6.5% following the news. The company said 45 prototype Cybercabs are currently operating on Austin streets, with plans to gradually expand the service to more vehicles and locations, and eventually to introduce the robotaxis in Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
