One Day After Tesla Announces Cybercab, NHTSA Opens an Investigation
Tesla launched its Cybercab, a two-seater autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel or mirrors, for ride-hailing in Austin. The NHTSA opened an investigation to assess its compliance with federal safety standards, which were designed for traditional vehicles. Tesla claims the Cybercab meets all applicable standards, but the NHTSA seeks to review the certification process and technical data. Non-compliance could lead to a recall and fines.
