Cybercab adds rear camera view and quiet mode in Austin
Cybercab passengers in Austin can now open the rear camera view on the center display during a trip, according to posts from users on social media. Until now, the rear and repeater cameras only appeared on the 'Please Exit Safely' screen at the end of a ride. Evan, a Tesla UI software engineer, said that tapping the view shows more cameras and that swiping it up or down hides or shows it. A quiet mode that darkens the entire screen also appeared in a video posted on Friday. Tesla has not published release notes for either feature.…
- Austin passengers now see the rear camera on the center display during the trip.
- The feature arrived about two weeks after a passenger requested access to it.
- Quiet mode darkens the entire screen; Tesla has published no release notes.
🔎 Why it matters: The Cybercab has no steering wheel, pedals, mirrors or rear window, so the rear camera view fills a gap created by its design. It uses the eight exterior cameras already onboard and required only a software change.
📈 Upside: Passengers can check what is behind the vehicle during the trip, not only on the final exit screen.
📉 Risk: Tesla has published no release notes and has not said whether the camera view and quiet mode will reach Model Y Robotaxis.
