Tesla's driverless Cybercab keeps a manual override tucked inside its touchscreen: a joystick that handles throttle, brake, and horn for the odd moment a human occupant needs to take the wheel, so to speak. With no pedals or steering wheel in the cabin, the automaker built the backup controls straight into the display. The setup reads more like a game controller than a traditional dashboard.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
