Tesla Cybercab

The Tesla Cybercab is a two-passenger battery-electric robotaxi made by Tesla, Inc. for its Robotaxi ride-hailing service. It is designed only for autonomous operation, with no steering wheel, pedals, side mirrors or rear window, and it relies on a camera-only driving system rather than the lidar and radar used by some competing robotaxis. Tesla unveiled it in October 2024, began production in February 2026 and started offering paid public rides in Austin, Texas, in September 2026. The Cybercab is meant to become the main vehicle of the Robotaxi fleet, and Tesla has targeted an operating cost of under 0.30 US dollars per mile. In September 2026 the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an audit of how Tesla self-certified it to federal safety standards.
