## Resource

Tesla’s futuristic, driverless Cybercabs—launched in Austin with no steering wheels, mirrors, or pedals—are now under federal scrutiny by the NHTSA, as regulators demand proof these fully autonomous taxis meet all safety standards before nationwide rollout. Elon Musk celebrates the debut as a revolutionary, low-cost ride-hailing future, but without manual controls for passengers, the move raises serious safety questions. This isn’t Tesla’s first regulatory hurdle; the company already faces multiple investigations into its self-driving tech, including crashes and red-light violations.
