Tesla prepares for Cybercab launch in August starting with rides to employees: report
The company plans to deploy the vehicle for its autonomous ride-hailing service
Tesla is preparing to launch its Cybercab autonomous vehicle in August, starting with rides for employees in Austin, Texas, according to a report by The Business Times. The Cybercab, a pedal-less, steering-wheel-less vehicle, is a key component of Tesla's robotaxi ambitions and will be used for the company's autonomous ride-hailing service.
The rollout will begin with test drives and employee rides on private roads, followed by training with local first responders. Tesla has been testing the production version of the Cybercab on public roads since June, with production expected to ramp up later in the year.
