Tesla teases imminent launch of Cybercab ‘robotaxi’

Electric vehicle-maker Tesla is teasing the upcoming debut of its self-driving robotaxi, dubbed “Cybercab,” to compete with the likes of Uber and Waymo.

The automaker plans to soon launch its Cybercab in Austin, Texas, and got the nod to deploy thousands of vehicles in Nevada.

It's been slow going, but it looks like Tesla's Robotaxi fleet in Austin is operating fully autonomously.

Seven months after Elon Musk announced that Tesla Robotaxis in Austin were operating without human safety monitors onboard, the city's service appears to have finally gone fully driverless. Over the past two weeks, all 170 Tesla Robotaxi rides in Austin monitored by the crowdsourced Robotaxi Tracker were unsupervised,

Nevada capped Tesla's fleet at a fraction of its request and kept it away from Harry Reid airport.
