Un passager découvre par accident comment piloter soi-même le robotaxi de Tesla - PhonAndroid

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.
