Tesla Cybercab Robotaxi Service Launches in Austin, Testing Musk's Camera-Only Bet

Tesla has launched its Cybercab robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, nearly two years after Elon Musk first unveiled the steering wheel-free, two-seat vehicle. The Cybercab features gull-wing doors and operates without a steering wheel as part of Tesla's autonomous driving ambitions. Unlike competitors, Tesla's self-driving system relies solely on cameras, forgoing the additional sensors used by rival autonomous vehicle companies. This camera-only approach is central to Musk's broader strategy for Tesla's autonomy efforts and is tied to his substantial compensation package. The Austin launch marks the first real-world test of whether this stripped-down philosophy can compete in the growing robotaxi market.
