Tesla is pushing forward with the delivery of Cybercab autonomous taxis under NHTSA regulatory pressure

Tesla prepares for large-scale delivery of Cybercab autonomous taxis, having started small-scale deployment in Austin, Texas, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reviewing its certification method for its steering-wheel-less vehicles. Lars Morawie, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, said the plan is to deliver Cybercab by the end of this year, while Elon Ashok, head of AI, believes regulatory restrictions need to be overcome. The NHTSA has suggested modifying regulations, but during the legislative vacuum, it remains unclear how Cybercab can meet regulatory requirements.
