US-based company Tesla has added fully autonomous Cybercab electric vehicles, which lack a steering wheel and pedals, to its robotaxi service fleet. The first vehicles have been integrated into the Tesla robotaxi service fleet operating in Austin, Texas, USA.
This was reported by The Verge, citing a closed-door event hosted by Tesla.
The Cybercab prototype was first unveiled by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in October 2024. The first production model of the electric vehicle was built in February 2026, with mass production starting in April. Starting in June, the vehicle underwent testing on US roads.
Tesla’s robotaxi service was launched in the summer of 2025. During the initial period of the service, only Model Y vehicles were used. Now, the steering-wheel-and-pedal-free Cybercab has also joined this vehicle fleet.
Exact figures regarding how many Cybercabs were added to Tesla's robotaxi service have not been disclosed. However, according to transportation data from the state of Texas, the company has 45 Cybercabs registered.
Overall, Tesla's robotaxi service utilizes 256 driverless cars across six US cities. For comparison, competitor Waymo operates a fleet of approximately 4,000 autonomous vehicles across 14 cities.
Additionally, Tesla has launched a dedicated website for partners interested in developing the robotaxi service. Through this platform, companies will be able to purchase Cybercabs and build their own robotaxi fleets.
However, the exact timeline for making the Cybercab available for mass retail sale has not yet been announced. Thus, the initial phase of deploying the new autonomous vehicle in the robotaxi service marks a crucial step toward its future large-scale commercial use.
