Passenger Accidentally Discovers How to Manually Drive Tesla's Robotaxi

A passenger named Matthew Skrzypczak found a hidden driving interface on the central screen of a Tesla Cybercab, featuring a virtual joystick. The vehicle lacks a steering wheel and pedals, so this menu is intended for operators to maneuver it in depots or tight parking. Skrzypczak filmed the screen and attempted to drive the car, realizing he likely wasn't meant to access the controls.
