Tesla has told staff it is preparing a public launch of the Cybercab, its first vehicle built without a steering wheel or brake pedal, for its self-driving ride-hailing service Robotaxi. The rollout is planned to start in Austin, Texas. The account comes from internal communications rather than a public Tesla announcement, and the paywalled report gives no confirmed date beyond August.
What changed
Tesla's Robotaxi service ran on existing vehicles that still had steering wheels and pedals.
