WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — United States (US) auto safety regulators have opened an inquiry into Tesla’s driverless Cybercab, questioning how the company concluded that a vehicle with no steering wheel, pedals or mirrors meets federal safety rules.

In a filing late Thursday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it would examine the process and technical data Tesla relied on when certifying the two-seater vehicle.

The announcement came hours after the company began deploying the Cybercab commercially in Austin, Texas, after a launch event.
