Tesla to Sell Steering-Wheel-Free Cybercab by End of Year

Tesla announced plans to begin selling its steering-wheel-free Cybercab autonomous vehicle to customers by the end of the year, starting with small batches. This marks a major strategic shift for Tesla from relying solely on software upgrades for private cars to offering dedicated autonomous vehicles directly to third-party fleet operators. The Cybercab features no steering wheel, pedals, or traditional controls, and currently faces an investigation by NHTSA regarding its safety compliance under federal regulations.
