Watch Tesla’s Cybercab Carry Passengers Through Austin. It’s Almost Boring

• Tesla’s steering-wheel-free Cybercab is now carrying passengers on public roads in Austin.
• A 14-minute video shows a smooth, quiet ride and just one stumble from the car's AI voice assistant.
• The trip is encouraging, but one geofenced Austin ride proves little about tougher cities or conditions.

After years of promises, prototypes and demonstrations in controlled environments, Tesla’s purpose-built Cybercab has finally started transporting passengers on public roads. An early video from inside suggests that the most radical Tesla yet, which has no physical controls, can deliver a remarkably ordinary-looking ride.
