Tesla Cybercab Can Be Driven Using Just the Screen [VIDEO]
A demonstration shows the purpose-built robotaxi operated without traditional steering controls.
Video footage circulating online shows Tesla's Cybercab being driven using primarily the vehicle's screen interface, demonstrating a control scheme that diverges from conventional steering inputs.
What Happened
The video, published by Not A Tesla App, appears to show an operator interacting with the Cybercab through its central display rather than physical controls. The purpose-built robotaxi, which lacks traditional steering wheels and pedals in its production-intended form, was demonstrated operating via screen-based commands during what seems to be a testing or demonstration scenario.
Why It Matters
The footage illustrates Tesla's approach to remote operation of the Cybercab, which is designed for fully autonomous ride-hailing service. For potential fleet operators and riders, the ability to control or intervene in vehicle operations through a screen interface could provide an alternative to physical intervention methods traditionally used in development-stage autonomous vehicles.
The Bottom Line
The video adds to the growing body of evidence around Tesla's Cybercab testing program ahead of its planned launch as a robotaxi service. The specific details and context of when this footage was captured remain limited from available sources.
