The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced it will examine whether Tesla’s new self‑driving taxi, known as the Cybercab and designed without a steering wheel, complies with federal auto regulations. The agency said the review will assess whether the vehicle meets the standards that apply to motor vehicles under current law. No determination has been made regarding the Cybercab’s compliance at this stage. The investigation is part of the agency’s broader oversight of emerging vehicle technologies. Officials said the inquiry will consider safety features and compliance testing procedures.
