Tesla Starts Paid Driverless Cybercab Rides in Three Texas Cities

Tesla began offering paid rides in its Cybercab — a two-seat autonomous vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals — across Austin, Houston, and Dallas on September 3, 2026. Production is underway at Gigafactory Texas. The shift from testing to fare-paying service gives Tesla its first driverless ride-hailing revenue, though per-ride economics and profitability remain undisclosed.
