Tesla Cybercab faces U.S. safety audit over lack of steering wheel and brake pedal

Tesla’s driverless robotaxi, the Cybercab, has become the subject of a U.S. federal safety standards review shortly after it began carrying regular passengers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an audit query to examine Tesla’s basis and procedures for claiming the Cybercab meets current federal vehicle safety standards without a regulatory exemption. The review covers self-certification for up to 1,000 vehicles and related technical materials, and could lead to changes or enforcement actions.

EV diagnostics firm Aviloo compared retention rates for 20 major EV models using more than 500,000 battery health checks conducted from 2022 to 2026 across North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The results indicate degradation is generally gradual, though differences by model were large.
