Yes. Tesla began offering rides in limited parts of Austin using its two-seat Cybercab, a purpose-built driverless vehicle without a steering wheel or pedals.
Reuters reported that Tesla said the rides were open to the public, while the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration described the rollout as a commercial deployment. Associated Press photographs and reporting also documented Cybercabs operating on Austin streets.
The launch is limited, not a nationwide rollout or a retail sale of the vehicle. NHTSA has opened an audit into Tesla's self-certification because existing federal safety standards remain in force.
The steering-wheel-free Cybercab has entered limited commercial service in Austin. Its certification is now under federal review.
