This vehicle relies entirely on autonomous driving software, which Tesla admits is not yet fully developed. The announcement follows a report indicating that Tesla's Robotaxi program is facing significant challenges, including a crash rate nearly four times that of human drivers and only 19% operational availability with about 40 vehicles on the road after eight months."

# Tesla rolls first steering wheel-less Cybercab unit off the line before solving autonomy

Tesla shared today that the first Cybercab production unit has rolled off the assembly line at Gigafactory Texas. The vehicle has no steering wheel and no pedals. It is entirely dependent on autonomous driving software that, based on every available data point, Tesla has not solved — and is nowhere close to solving.

Even the name “Cybercab” is not set in stone.

The announcement comes on a day after we published our latest robotaxi status check showing that Tesla’s “Robotaxi” program in Austin is crashing at nearly four times the rate of human drivers, operates at just 19% availability, and has roughly 40 vehicles on the road eight months after launch.

Tesla announced today that it produced its first Cybercab off its production line at Gigafactory Texas:
