IT News on October 26th: According to a report by automotive media CarBuzz today, Tesla is preparing for the large-scale delivery of Cybercab driverless taxis, and has already launched a small-scale deployment in Austin, Texas. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States has taken a close look at Tesla, focusing on how these vehicles, which lack steering wheels and pedals, were certified.

According to the original report, IT Home has learned that Tesla has not yet completely resolved this legal issue. Lars Moravi, Tesla's Vice President of Vehicle Engineering, once emphasized that Tesla is committed to launching driverless taxis on a large scale as soon as possible and is striving to deliver Cybercab to customers by the end of this year. From the statements of this executive, it seems that Tesla is confident in dealing with regulatory challenges.

Tesla's AI CEO, Elon Musk, believes that the company must overcome regulatory constraints. As long as legislative bodies approve the relevant arrangements, expanding production capacity will not be a problem.

In fact, NHTSA has proposed suggestions to amend relevant regulations to provide a legal space for fully autonomous vehicles that do not have steering wheels, acceleration, or brake pedals. However, during this legislative vacuum period, it is still unclear how Cybercab will meet regulatory requirements. The deadline set by NHTSA for October 30 is approaching, and there may be more news in the coming days.
