Tesla's Cybercab launched in Austin, Texas without a traditional steering wheel or pedals. The vehicle includes a virtual joystick interface that allows manual control, which some riders discovered shortly after the launch. The joystick functions as an alternative to the autonomous driving system built into the vehicle.
