About the Cybertruck

The Tesla Cybertruck is an all-electric pickup truck known for its unique angular design and durable exoskeleton. It features impressive performance metrics, including rapid acceleration and a long electric range. Initially delayed due to pandemic-related issues and engineering challenges, the Cybertruck has recently begun receiving updates that enable advanced driving features, such as hands-free highway driving.

Despite facing safety recalls and criticism over its rollout, Tesla aims to position the Cybertruck as a leader in the electric vehicle market, emphasizing its autonomous driving capabilities in response to increasing competition.


Self-Driving Features

A select group of Tesla Cybertrucks has received a new update enabling hands-free highway driving, making them the first Tesla vehicles to feature "end-to-end on highway" navigation powered by a neural net. This capability is currently in "early access," available only to certain owners who purchased the feature. Despite its advanced technology, Tesla emphasizes that drivers must remain attentive, as the system can disengage if it detects inattention.

This rollout comes after a challenging introduction for the Cybertruck, which faced delays and safety recalls. As competition in the electric vehicle market intensifies, Tesla aims to leverage its self-driving capabilities to regain market leadership. Elon Musk has indicated that the company's future value lies in autonomy, with plans to unveil a self-driving taxi service, the "Cybercab," later this month.
