Tesla Cybercab Debuts in Korea as FSD Expansion Remains Pending

At a glance

Tesla Korea displayed the Cybercab, a self-driving vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals, at Starfield Anseong in Gyeonggi Province. This is the first time it has been shown in Korea, but it does not mean sales or driverless service will follow.

Key points

1. 1

   The Cybercab is built to carry passengers without a driver, as a robotaxi.

2. 2

   Tesla began limited robotaxi service with Cybercabs in parts of Austin, Texas, on September 3.

3. 3

   Only 22.4% of Tesla cars registered in Korea can use FSD, the supervised full self-driving feature.

4. 4

   Tesla Korea applied on the 22nd of last month for a technical exemption for supervised FSD, but approval is still pending.

Why it matters

It shows that when Tesla's self-driving features will be available in Korea is still undecided.
