Virtual joystick for manual control spotted in Tesla Cybercab

Tesla has been found to have built a hidden manual control function into its steering wheel- and pedal-free Cybercab robotaxi, allowing movement via a virtual on-screen joystick. Passengers recently spotted the interface on the vehicle display, which is believed to be intended for Tesla staff or maintenance personnel to reposition vehicles at low speed. How the function can be accessed and what safeguards apply remain unconfirmed, with no further explanation from Tesla.
