Cybercab hides an on-screen joystick for manual driving
Tesla's Cybercab—robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedals—was spotted with a hidden on-screen joystick enabling manual driving, revealing a fallback control method Tesla has not publicly showcased. The interface splits the screen into a joystick and a live camera feed. This raises safety/regulatory questions as the NHTSA audits the vehicle's certification for driverless operation, while Tesla says real controls could be added if needed. The joystick is likely not a practical long-term solution, but it underscores the tension between full autonomy and human fallback options.
