Tesla Cybercab begins paid robotaxi rides in Austin, Texas

📍 InsideEVs Tesla

Tesla has started offering paid rides with its Cybercab, a two-seat electric vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals, in Austin, Texas. The launch occurred at a closed event without Elon Musk’s attendance. Tesla currently has 45 Cybercabs registered in Texas and operates about 250 driverless taxis across six cities. The Cybercab only allows adult passengers or minors aged 13 to 17 accompanied by an adult, excluding children under 13. It features a 20.2 cubic feet trunk suitable for luggage and bulky items, with doors that open automatically or via a smartphone app.

🔎 Why it matters: The initial Cybercab version without steering wheel or pedals represents progress in Tesla’s robotaxi fleet, with 45 units in Texas and specific passenger restrictions.
📈 Upside: The two-seat design and spacious trunk optimize use for robotaxi trips with two passengers.
📉 Risk: Age restrictions and lack of ISOFIX systems may limit adoption and family use.
