Tesla launches Cybercab rides in Austin
The Tesla Cybercab, a robotaxi vehicle designed for autonomous taxi rides, is finally here, and available to customers.
Tesla has officially launched its Cybercab robotaxi service, available to customers through its Robotaxi app. The company's fleet includes Model Ys, Robovans, and now Cybercabs, with availability in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. However, the Cybercabs appear to be limited to Austin, as confirmed by a tweet from Tesla.
Originally announced in 2024, the Cybercab is designed without a steering wheel or pedals, focusing solely on autonomous rides. Tesla's Austin fleet consists of 314 vehicles, out of which only 45 are Cybercabs. User Sawyer Merritt shared a video of his first Cybercab ride, describing the cabin as comfortable, spacious, and featuring a massive display with no human-oriented driving controls.
Merritt praised the smooth self-driving system (FSD) and the impressive screen size. Tesla has opened a Robotaxi interest form, preparing to sell the vehicles to fleet operators interested in establishing their own Robotaxi networks.
