This aggressive move signals Tesla's ambition for 'transportation domination,' directly challenging established players like Waymo in the burgeoning autonomous ride-hailing market. The expansion comes as federal regulators, specifically the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, scrutinize the Cybercab's design, which notably lacks a steering wheel or pedals.
