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.

Tesla has until October 30 to respond to the NHTSA's inquiry.",
