WATCH: Tesla unveiled its two-seater Cybercab at an event in Texas, offering a closer look

Tesla has put its vision of driverless transportation on display with the Cybercab, a two-seat autonomous vehicle that could reshape how people move through cities. Unveiled at an event in Texas, the compact car is central to CEO Elon Musk’s plan to make Tesla a leading force in self-driving technology. Key takeaways: The Cybercab is designed without a traditional steering wheel or pedals, emphasizing Tesla’s goal of fully autonomous travel. Its two-seat layout points to a vehicle built primarily for short urban trips and ride-hailing services. Musk has presented autonomous vehicles as a potential new business engine for Tesla, allowing owners to deploy cars as part of a driverless fleet. The company must still address regulatory approval, safety testing and public confidence before such vehicles can operate widely. Tesla has not provided a firm timeline for large-scale production or commercial service, leaving questions about when the Cybercab will move from a prototype to everyday transportation.
