Tesla’s Cybercab is already drawing mixed reactions: Barely a week into its Austin launch, Tesla’s Cybercab is already under federal investigation, with regulators auditing the company’s certification under US safety rules. Some riders have faced awkward stops and software glitches, and one user claims they found a hidden virtual joystick they “weren’t supposed to see.” Austin firefighters are raising concerns too, warning that moving a disabled Cybercab could be tough without physical controls.
