According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Tesla's Cybercab was recently observed testing on public roads in Austin without traditional side mirrors, signaling a significant move towards fully autonomous, AI-driven vehicles (source: @SawyerMerritt, Twitter). The absence of mirrors suggests reliance on advanced AI-powered sensor suites and computer vision systems to replace manual driving aids, potentially paving the way for mirrorless, steering wheel-free robotaxis. This development represents a notable milestone in the deployment of AI-based autonomous ride-hailing services and could accelerate regulatory discussions around AI safety and urban mobility solutions in the US market (source: @SawyerMerritt, Twitter; @artsimage, Twitter).
