Tesla's futuristic Cybercab, devoid of traditional steering wheel and pedals, is controlled using an Xbox-like video game controller. The revelation comes from sources at the Petersen Museum where the Cybercab is on display. The car can also be controlled wirelessly from outside.
Tesla 's Cybercab has no steering wheel or pedals. A recent video from the Petersen Museum seemed like someone was controlling the Cybercab from the front seat. Sources tell one news outlet that Tesla has built the Cybercab to work with an Xbox-like video game controller. The Tesla Cybercab shocked the world when it made its first appearance without any form of traditional driver controls.
We're talking about no steering wheel, no pedals—nothing for someone in the front seat to put their hands (or feet) on to control the car or override the software. It turns out that Tesla's workaround is to pilot the car like a video game, literally. That small tidbit comes from a report by AutoEvolution which has some sources at the Petersen Museum where the Cybercab is on display until the new year. According to the report, Tesla's super secret method is a small Xbox-like game controller that plugs into the car to control steering and pedal input since, you know, there's no other hardware installed in the car that can do this. Cybercab controls recently came into question after the Petersen Museum recently showed some behind-the-scenes footage of the Cybercab arriving at its facility. In the video (embedded above), the car can be seen working its way up a ramp with someone in the front seat. People speculated that someone was sitting in the seat to maneuver the car, especially since it was unlikely that Tesla's FSD software could figure out how to navigate inside a building. It turns out they were right. AutoEvolution says that its sources confirm this method was used to control the car while it was inside of the museum. The sources also confirmed that the car could be controlled wirelessly from outside (like a big RC car). We also know that Tesla is working to hire a fleet of robotaxi operators. These teleoperators will work as safety operators when the automaker launches its first company-run fleet—presumably before 2027—although it has a number of kinks to work out first
