Not only is there no driver, but there is no steering wheel to steer the car if necessary or a brake pedal to stop it in an emergency. Pushing the boundaries of technology again, Elon Musk officially launched his dream project, the 'Cybercab' robotaxi service, in Austin, Texas. The maiden voyages of these driverless taxis are also the answer to the big question of whether passengers have the courage to hand over complete control of the vehicle to a computer.

These futuristic cars operate on technology that uses only cameras and artificial intelligence to read letters without errors. As if in retaliation for the recent stock declines that Tesla has faced, Tesla's stock value suddenly jumped by five percent with a new test of new robotaxi. However, with rivals including Google's Waymo already dominating the market, it's a huge test for Tesla to get there without any accidents.

The debate is heating up about how popular people will make a journey without a human in the driving seat and without even a steering wheel to take control of in case of an accident. Even without a driver or steering wheel, emergency push buttons and large entertainment screens are equipped to stop the vehicle quickly. Fans hope that if they completely bypass road safety laws and permits, this Musk magic will be able to completely change the way we travel in the future.
