Cybercabs roll out, robots step in
Tesla has launched its driverless 'cybercabs' in limited areas of Austin, Texas, offering rides in vehicles that lack both a steering wheel and pedals. While Tesla previously provided ride-hailing with modified standard cars, these two-seater cybercabs are anticipated to become the core of its service.
This development signifies a step towards fully autonomous transportation, potentially changing urban mobility and the future of ride-sharing services by removing the need for human drivers.
