WIRED takes a transportation angle, saying Tesla’s upcoming Cybercab debut is only an initial step, with autonomous-driving software, safety, fleet operations and economics posing larger challenges to scaling robotaxi service. Both reports point to the gap between ambitious technology investment plans and the practical hurdles to deployment.
