Tesla aims to sell Cybercab robotaxis by end of year despite federal probe
Tesla plans to deliver the steering-wheel-free Cybercab to customers while federal regulators review whether it meets safety standards.
- On Wednesday, Tesla Vice President of Engineering Lars Moravy announced the company aims to deliver Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026 during its third-quarter earnings call.
- Designed without a steering wheel or pedals, the Cybercab is primarily a 'transport-as-a-service' vehicle, according to CEO Elon Musk, rather than a traditional product for private purchase.
- Investigating the Cybercab, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is examining the basis of Tesla's self-certification, as federal regulations currently require manual controls like steering wheels and pedals.
- Operating a small Cybercab fleet in Austin, Texas, Tesla plans to expand service to Dallas next month, though most newly produced units currently feed the internal robotaxi fleet.
- Unsupervised Full Self-Driving software is expected to reach consumer vehicles in Q2 2027, Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla's Head of AI, indicated during the call, marking a key autonomy milestone.
