The Tesla Cybercab has made a bold statement by ditching the steering wheel and pedal, but it seems the company may have overlooked a few bugs. Less than a week after its launch in Austin, Texas, riders have stumbled upon a virtual joystick, hinting that the future of driving may involve more manual controls than initially thought.

This accidental discovery raises questions about Tesla's commitment to fully autonomous vehicles. The joystick, visible on the lower left corner of the central display, offers basic manual controls for moving forward, reverse, stopping, honking, and opening doors. While intended for fleet workers, its appearance during customer rides suggests a glitch that Tesla will hopefully address.

The presence of these controls challenges Tesla's message that the steering wheel and pedal are relics of the past. Even in this age of technological advancement, it seems the future of driving may still require some human intervention. For now, it's another reminder that the path to the future is often riddled with unexpected bugs.

Despite the surprise discovery, the Cybercab remains a fascinating glimpse into the future of transportation. However, the inclusion of these manual controls serves as a reminder that the transition to fully autonomous vehicles may not be as seamless as initially promised.
