However, this still provides us with a good enough overview of the car for those who couldn't attend the event in person.\n\nThe most striking feature of the Cybercab is its enormous wheels. Upon a closer examination, it becomes apparent that the wheel caps are responsible for the size discrepancy. As you get closer to the car, other details become more noticeable, such as the absence of side mirrors. Instead, the robot relies on cameras to fulfill the same purpose.\n\nThe vehicle appears to be quite long, even for an electric two-seater.
