BREAKING: The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an audit into about 1,000 Tesla Cybercabs.

NHTSA says Cybercab has no permanently attached steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal or mirrors. It will review how Tesla certified the vehicle and why Tesla determined that some federal safety standards did not apply.

NHTSA is auditing a car because it has no controls for a human driver. But that is the entire point: Cybercab was designed from day one to drive itself.

• Tesla Robotaxis have driven one million miles without a human driver.

• The first 380,000 driverless miles had no notable safety incidents.

• Tesla reported three incidents in NHTSA’s latest data. In all three, another vehicle hit a stopped Tesla Robotaxi.

In these incidents, the problem was human error, not the autonomous Tesla. That is exactly what Cybercab is designed to remove from our roads.
