Tesla's Cybercab robotaxi launched on 5 September and quickly attracted federal scrutiny. Investigators are looking at the vehicle's missing steering wheel, which emergency responders say could stop them from controlling the vehicle in a crisis. Tesla stock dropped 6% after Wall Street described the update as underwhelming.
On the same day, Turkey's Kaan P1 stealth fighter finished its initial taxi runs, marking a notable moment in the world's most crowded news day for anything on wheels. The Cybercab investigation and the stock drop have raised fresh doubts about Tesla's plans for a widespread robotaxi rollout.
