About two years after first revealing the golden, two-seat taxi, Tesla officially launched the Cybercab at a private event in Austin on Thursday.
Tesla influencers were able to take some of the first quasi-public rides in Cybercabs, which are built from the ground up to be autonomous and lack steering wheels, pedals, and mirrors. On Friday, Cybercab rides opened to the broader public—giving patrons of its Robotaxi service another vehicle option beyond the driverless Model Ys already in its fleet.
