Tesla aims to roll out its Cybercab robotaxis by the end of 2026, despite a federal probe, according to the company's engineering chief Lars Moravy. The self-driving, two-seater vehicles, which lack manual controls, are a cornerstone of CEO Elon Musk's vision for an AI and robotics-focused company. Moravy revealed to analysts that Tesla intends to deliver these autonomous vehicles to customers by December 2026 after conducting tests on delivery, ownership, and fleet management.
The Cybercabs began offering paid rides to the public in Austin, Texas, early last month, but federal regulators have launched an investigation into how Tesla certifies the vehicles to meet safety regulations. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Tesla's certification process and the extent to which federal standards do not apply to the vehicles. Tesla has until October 30 to respond to the NHTSA's inquiry.
