Tesla’s upcoming two-seater Robotaxi, the Cybercab, has been spotted testing without any side mirrors for the first time.
A gold Cybercab was spotted parked on a road with an operator getting ready to undertake evaluation testing, and was snapped up by Johnarrow on X.
This time around, though, the side mirrors that have been seen on other test vehicles are no longer there, hinting at a possible mirrorless vehicle for its autonomous operation.
It also shows that Tesla is likely to use side repeater cameras and the rear camera to help the car see what’s around it during operation.
The latest sighting of the expected driverless car without any steering wheel or pedals during operation comes only weeks after initial sighting of the Cybercab testing on public roads had emerged in December.
Those photos show a car leaving an underground carpark in Austin, Texas and had Texas manufacturer plates, hinting that it’s a test vehicle.
Tesla initially showcased the Cybercab at the company’s “We, Robot” event in 2024, which was at Warner Bros. studios in California.
Hundreds of demos with the Cybercab and Model Y Robotaxis also occurred at the event on closed roads.
Since then, dozens of sightings of the golden model have been made, with most either at Tesla’s test track or in Tesla showrooms in the US.
