A look behind the scenes of the Tesla Cybercab
About a month ago Tesla the Cybercab, a two-seater robotaxithat could revolutionize the future of personal transport. With its minimalist design and lack of traditional operating elements, the Tesla fully on an autonomous future.
First public appearances
Since its unveiling, the Cybercab has been presented at various Tesla-events, including the "Frunk and Treat" events for employees in Giga Texas and the factory in Fremont. In addition, since last week a Cybercab has been in the Tesla store in Santana Row, San Jose, California.
How does the Cybercab move without a steering wheel?
The central question is: How is the Cybercab driven without a steering wheel and pedals? When it was first unveiled, the vehicle completed over 1,300 journeys and transported more than 2,000 guests safely in a closed environment. But now it has been spotted driving outside a controlled environment for the first time.
Possible control variants
There are several theories as to how the Cybercab is controlled:
-
Autonomous driving with FSD: It could be an unreleased version of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software that enables the vehicle to navigate autonomously.
-
Safety driver with control unitA human could sit in the vehicle and intervene with a special device to stop the vehicle if necessary.
-
Remote controlAlthough less likely, the vehicle could also be operated remotely.
As the roads on the Giga Texas site are private and no special licenses are required in Texas for testing autonomous vehicles, the factory provides the ideal location for such tests.
What does this mean for the future?
The sighting of the Cybercab in the wild is an exciting step towards fully autonomous vehicles. Tesla once again demonstrates its innovative strength and its focus on a sustainable and autonomous mobility.
