Episode Details

Tesla’s fully self-driving robotaxi dream just got a lot more visible—and weird—in Austin, where they’ve rolled out sleek, gold-colored, two-seater Cybercabs with no steering wheel or pedals, tested with safety monitors in the passenger seat. After years of teasing the concept and testing modified Model Ys, Tesla’s betting their in-house car-and-software control can beat Waymo’s sensor-heavy approach—using just cameras to achieve full autonomy. While both companies have faced mishaps, Tesla’s less conspicuous vehicles have masked their growing pains, but now, with these futuristic, pedal-less cabs hitting the streets, every stumble and success will be hard to miss.
