Tesla is now offering rides in its two-seater Cybercab in limited areas of Austin, Texas. The vehicle features no steering wheel or pedals, with 45 units currently registered in the state.
Tesla has begun operating its autonomous Cybercab in select Austin neighborhoods, marking the company's expansion into ride-hailing services. The vehicle is stripped of traditional controls, relying entirely on autonomous driving technology.
With 45 Cybercabs registered in Texas, the rollout remains limited to specific zones. The two-seater design signals Tesla's focus on urban mobility rather than family transportation.
The move follows years of development on Tesla's full self-driving capabilities. The company has previously tested autonomous vehicles in limited deployments but this represents a more formal service offering.
Regulatory approval and safety validation remain critical factors for broader expansion. Tesla has not announced timelines for expanding Cybercab availability beyond Austin or pricing details for rides.
