Tesla launches and expands its Cybercab robotaxi in the United States
Tesla launched its Cybercab robotaxi in Austin and is expanding the driverless service in Texas, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Las Vegas, where Nevada has authorized 5,000 vehicles. The automaker targets an operating cost of about $0.30 per mile and assembles the Cybercab using an “unboxed” process at its Texas factory. Shortly after the Austin launch, U.S. federal authorities opened an investigation, and Tesla’s stock came under pressure amid Waymo’s rollout. In South Korea, the Cybercab is being shown for the first time but no sales are planned, while the United States remains the focus of deployments, testing, and regulatory scrutiny.
