US safety agency probes Tesla's Cybercab launch without steering wheel or pedals

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an investigation into Tesla's new Cybercab, which was released on public roads in Austin, Texas, without a steering wheel or pedals. This move challenges existing federal vehicle safety rules that require manual controls, although recent proposals aim to relax these for autonomous vehicles. Tesla claims it self-certified the Cybercab as compliant with all federal safety standards, but NHTSA is reviewing the data and certification process to verify this. The investigation will assess whether Tesla's certification appropriately considered which federal standards apply to the Cybercab's unique design.
