A Verge reporter described a ride in Tesla's steering-wheel-free Cybercab, which drew attention and some frustration from other drivers in Austin, according to the report.
Less than a week after its Austin launch, some riders say the driverless Cybercab includes a touchscreen-based joystick despite lacking a steering wheel or pedals.
A TechCrunch Mobility roundup indicates Tesla's Cybercab has begun operating on public roads but has encountered an unspecified issue, the outlet reported.
Federal officials are examining whether Tesla's autonomous Cybercab meets vehicle safety standards shortly after its deployment, according to a report by Ars Technica.
New details reported by TechCrunch show Tesla will not allow children under 13 to ride in its Cybercab autonomous vehicle, even when accompanied by a parent, a stricter rule than currently applies to its Model Y robotaxis.
