What Is Cybercab? #
Cybercab is a purpose-built robotaxi — it has no steering wheel, no accelerator, and no brake pedal. Two passengers ride in a spacious, open-footwell cabin controlled entirely by a central touchscreen. Butterfly doors open automatically when your phone is detected nearby, and the vehicle navigates to your destination autonomously.
