AI Summary

Tesla’s Cybercab has been placed under a federal investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The NHTSA audit was launched the same day Tesla began operating the vehicle with passengers in Austin, focusing on how the company certified the model as road‑legal. The probe centers on the Cybercab’s unconventional design, which lacks a steering wheel, pedals and mirrors. The investigation examines the certification process for this steering‑free, pedal‑free vehicle.
