E-Autos: Tesla startet Fahrten mit fahrerlosem Cybercab in Austin

Tesla has started offering rides in its two-seater Cybercab, a vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals, in limited areas of Austin, Texas. The Cybercab is part of Tesla's plans to transform into a dominant force in driverless vehicles, according to CEO Elon Musk.

Tesla has a limited robotaxi ride-hailing service with a network of autonomous Model Ys, some with human safety monitors and some without. The company intends to make the no-steering-wheel Cybercab the main driverless vehicle model operating within a larger robotaxi network.

Video clips show Cybercabs circulating without a driver or steering wheel. According to Investing.com, Tesla held an event in Austin on Thursday, but there were no public remarks from Musk or other Tesla executives, and no live footage of the event was posted.
