Tesla Cybercabs Spotted in New York City
A few Tesla Cybercab prototypes have been spotted on the streets of New York City, though they are equipped with steering wheels and driven manually by safety monitors. This comes despite regulations that currently prohibit fully autonomous vehicles from operating there. The sightings may be part of a marketing strategy rather than an immediate rollout plan. New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently reversed her decision to allow Waymo's autonomous vehicles outside the city due to pressure from labor groups, highlighting regulatory and public resistance in New York toward self-driving technology. Tesla’s Cybercab is designed as a wheelless robotaxi but remains under development for full autonomy.
