Summary
Tesla launched a drawing for seats at a Cybercab launch event in Austin, effectively confirming preparations for its first public robotaxi rollout later this month.
The move follows a report that Tesla has told employees to get ready for an end-of-August launch of the two-seat vehicle, which has no pedals or steering wheel and relies entirely on Full Self-Driving software.
Cybercab entered production at Gigafactory Texas in April, and Tesla has already expanded testing across multiple U.S. states while allowing employees to ride in the vehicle this summer.
Public unsupervised rides would mark a major step in Tesla’s long-delayed autonomy push, after years of Elon Musk promising imminent self-driving breakthroughs without delivering a commercial robotaxi service.
