Tesla Prepares August Cybercab Launch in Austin — A Vehicle With No Pedals or Steering Wheel

Tesla has told employees to prepare for an August Cybercab launch in Austin. The purpose-built vehicle has no pedals or steering wheel, making human intervention physically impossible and eliminating ambiguity over what "driverless" means. The launch follows crowdsourced data showing all 170 monitored Austin Robotaxi rides over two weeks were unsupervised — though earlier rides reportedly involved remote human drivers.
