Tesla's Cybercab features a brake-by-wire system with electronic actuators controlling the brake calipers, replacing the traditional hydraulic system to reduce complexity and cost. The vehicle also utilizes electronic door latches that open automatically, though manual releases are located on the door armrests.
The interior is equipped with USB-C ports providing 90W of power, which is approximately four times the standard automotive power output. However, the vehicle's windows currently cannot be fully opened, and it lacks standard LATCH anchors for child seats, requiring them to be secured using seat belts.
Regarding safety and regulations, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation into the Cybercab's rollout. In the event of a crash, the vehicle is programmed to inflate airbags, unlock doors, activate hazard and interior lights, disable the high-voltage battery, and establish a two-way connection with Tesla's rider support team.
