NHTSA Investigates Tesla Cybercab Over Federal Safety Standards Compliance
Tesla began deploying its steering-wheel-free Cybercab to the public in Texas and Florida as part of its Robotaxi network, shortly after unveiling the vehicles to fans in Austin. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is now investigating whether the Cybercab meets existing federal vehicle safety standards, which still require equipment like brake pedals and mirrors that Tesla's vehicle lacks.
