What if the Cybercab’s biggest problem were not driving, but traveling empty through the city?
Tesla wants to bring its robotaxi to Europe, but there, being autonomous is not enough. The car has to fit into different streets, national regulations, local licensing requirements, and existing transport systems.
What’s more, each ride can generate another trip: the car traveling without a passenger to pick up the next customer. That repositioning traffic takes up space, consumes energy, and could increase congestion.
That is why success will not be measured solely by how many Cybercabs Tesla builds. The question will be whether they replace private car trips or end up drawing people away from the metro, buses, or bicycles.
Europe could be the decisive test: not of manufacturing speed, but of trust and usefulness in cities.
