Tesla takes car without steering wheel on public roads for the first time

Tesla's driverless Cybercab, featuring no steering wheel or pedals, hit public roads in downtown Austin for the first time as part of testing for the company's Robotaxi platform. The two-seater autonomous vehicle, powered by Tesla's AI4 hardware and FSD 14 software, represents a significant step toward fully autonomous ride-sharing services planned for 2026. This public debut marks a crucial milestone in validating the vehicle's self-driving capabilities in real traffic conditions.
