Tesla Cybercab event gains steam ahead of massive launch
Tesla says the limited rollout will let consumers ride in its first steering wheel-less, pedal-less vehicle on public roads.
- On Thursday, Tesla will launch its two-seater Cybercab at an event in Austin, Texas, marking the first time a vehicle without manual controls will operate on public roads with real-world riders.
- Service expanded to several cities in Texas and Florida after Tesla launched a pilot in Austin in June 2025, though growth has proven slower than CEO Elon Musk initially targeted.
- State records from Wednesday evening show Tesla had 420 autonomous vehicles registered in Texas, including 45 Cybercab units, while Alphabet's Waymo, the current U.S. leader, has 988 vehicles registered in the state.
- Analysts view driverless vehicles as a central underpinning of Tesla's $1.4 trillion market value, yet the company faces intense pressure from global competitors and reports of long wait times for service.
- Federal regulations currently limit the number of vehicles manufacturers can sell without steering wheels, even as Tesla aims to make the Cybercab the primary model in its autonomous ride-hailing network.
