Tesla's Cybercab Skips the Hydraulics Entirely

· 1 min read

Tesla's driverless Cybercab dispenses with more than a steering wheel. Engineers have also eliminated the conventional brake lines that run through nearly every production car, part of a wider effort to simplify the robotaxi's build and long-term upkeep. Several of these changes are invisible from the passenger seats, tucked into the mechanical bones of the vehicle rather than its cabin. The result is a car conceived from the ground up for autonomous service rather than adapted from one built for a driver.

With reporting from The Drive.
