Tesla just gave us a much clearer look at how its upcoming purpose-built robotaxi handles itself on public roads without a human behind the wheel. Over the weekend, the release of the official Cybercab First Responder Interaction Plan peeled back the layers on how the vehicle performs driverless operations. Interestingly, the documentation refers to the car as the "Cybercab Robotaxi," hammering home exactly what this machine was built to do. The emergency guide explicitly and repeatedly classifies the Cybercab as completely driverless, showing that Tesla is sticking to its guns about deploying it without a steering wheel or pedals. Even so, Tesla previously said it would start rolling out Cybercabs with steering wheels and pedals if regulators required them. This lines up with a broader shift in the regulatory landscape, especially since NHTSA recently stopped requiring traditional brake pedals on autonomous vehicles. Cybercab’s Level 4 Autonomy According to the new emergency handbook, the vehicle is equipped with an SAE Level 4 'Autonomous Mode.' This comes after Tesla self-certified FSD-driven vehicles as Level 4 autonomy-compliant under a new Texas law. "When in Autonomous Mode, the vehicle is designed to be capable of performing the entire dynamic driving task without any input from a human driver," the manual states. The Cybercab will practically always be active when out in the wild. It will operate in this self-driving state during passenger trips, when deadheading to a pickup, or while traveling to a charging or cleaning facility. When in Autonomous Mode, text that reads "Self-Driving" is displayed in blue in the top left corner of the center screen. Autonomous Mode can use the Cybercab’s cameras and microphone array to detect emergency vehicles and sirens. If an emergency vehicle pulls up behind it, the car will automatically pull over and yield. It can even recognize
