Tesla has announced the production of its first steering wheel-less Cybercab unit at Gigafactory Texas. 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.
