特斯拉在德州奥斯汀推出了一款完全无方向盘和刹车踏板的自动驾驶出租车Cybercab1。这款车型完全由乘客无法控制，体现了特斯拉在自动驾驶领域的激进设计理念1。此次发布会以私密闭门形式进行，未进行直播，邀请对象主要为亲特斯拉的影响者2。
特斯拉此举旨在打消美国消费者对无人驾驶出租车的疑虑1。根据Pew Research Center的调查，七成美国成年人对无人驾驶汽车感到"不太"或"根本不"舒适1。目前，特斯拉在奥斯汀已有超过200辆"无人监督"的机器人出租车运营1，而Waymo在14个城市拥有超过4000辆自动驾驶出租车1。
特斯拉采用纯摄像头系统来实现自动驾驶功能，而Waymo和Amazon的Zoox则采用摄像头加雷达加激光雷达的多传感器技术方案1。此消息发布后，特斯拉股票周四上涨超过5%1。值得注意的是，美国监管机构已对特斯拉自动驾驶软件的安全性展开多项调查，包括在低能见度条件下的撞车事件调查1。
Tesla unveiled its Cybercab autonomous taxi service in Austin, Texas, marking a significant milestone in founder Elon Musk's long-standing commitment to driverless vehicles.12 The vehicle features no steering wheel or brake pedal, leaving passengers entirely without manual control over the vehicle's operation.1 The company is betting that introducing fully autonomous taxis will help overcome widespread American skepticism about driverless cars, as a Pew Research Center survey shows approximately 70 percent of U.S. adults feel "not too" or "not at all" comfortable with autonomous vehicles.1
The launch took place as a private, invitation-only event in Austin without a live stream, primarily attended by Tesla-friendly influencers.2 Tesla currently operates more than 200 unsupervised robotic taxis in Austin, positioning the company to compete directly with established players like Waymo, which operates over 4,000 vehicles across 14 cities.1 Unlike competitors such as Waymo and Amazon's Zoox that employ a combination of cameras, radar, and lidar technology, Tesla relies exclusively on a camera-based system for its autonomous driving capabilities.1 The announcement drove Tesla's stock price up more than 5 percent on Thursday.1
However, the company faces regulatory scrutiny, with U.S. authorities conducting multiple investigations into Tesla's self-driving software, including examining crash incidents that occurred in low-visibility conditions.1
