Tesla just put a car with no steering wheel and no pedals on public roads - this is no longer sci-fi. 🚗🤖
Tesla has started testing its production Cybercab in Austin, Texas.
Two seats. No steering wheel. No pedals.
For now, there is still a safety monitor sitting in the passenger seat, so this is not a fully unleashed robotaxi network yet.
But the direction is obvious: Tesla wants to turn cars from “vehicles people drive” into autonomous hardware running on software.
The timing is interesting too.
U.S. regulators are already moving toward rules that could make it easier to deploy vehicles without traditional driver controls.
And Tesla’s target price for Cybercab has been talked about below $30,000.
My take: if Tesla actually makes this work at scale, the car market changes completely.
Not because the car has no steering wheel.
But because driving itself becomes software, and software scales much faster than humans. ⚡
