US opens probe into Tesla Cybercab compliance with federal safety rules
U.S. auto safety regulators are examining the process and technical data Tesla relied on to claim its Cybercab meets federal motor vehicle safety standards. The probe follows Tesla’s start of commercial deployment of a small number of two-seater Cybercabs in Austin, with plans to expand. NHTSA will review Tesla’s certification basis and whether specific safety standards apply, noting the Cybercab lacks permanent manual controls.
