X/DavidMossA Texas man was trapped in a Tesla Cybercab for 14 minutes.David Moss took to X on Monday, October 5, to share a clip from the incident, which showed the self-driving vehicle repeatedly circling a parking lot after failing to find a way out."14 Minutes Stuck In A Cybercab: Interesting edge case I just experienced in this Tesla Robotaxi," Moss began. "It failed to reroute itself & did loops for 7min trying to leaving [sic] pickup parking lot."He revealed that a construction crew in the area stepped in to help, even moving their vehicle to give the Cybercab more space. It was no use, however, and Moss was forced to contact Tesla support to stop the car and let him out."Support got on the line & stopped the vehicle. It took them another 7 min to restart FSD," he continued about the 14-minute ordeal. "No remote operator driving from what I tell."X/DavidMossThe bizarre moment is just the latest in Cybercab flubs following the introduction of the autonomous taxis in the Austin, Texas, area last month.First for Autos previously reported on a Cybercab that got stuck in a hotel parking lot in September, unable to complete the man's ride.The passenger, who identified himself as a computer engineer, shared a video of the incident on X after ordering the cab in Austin."The Robotaxi arrived… and then couldn't get out of the hotel parking lot," he wrote. "There was construction in one lane.. but it couldn't see the other open lane. It drove back and forth 4 times and then stopped and said I had arrived!"The man continued, "Not a great first experience! Clearly this technology is nowhere close to being ready for large scale deployment."TelsaThe reported Cybercab malfunctions follow Tesla's rollout of the self-driving cabs in early September. Unlike the modified Model Y vehicles the company has previously used for its Robotaxi service, the Cybercab doesn't have a traditional steering wheel or pedals.While both passengers who got stuck were apparently unaware of the manual controls in the car, another passenger recently discovered hidden buttons on the car's touchscreen after it experienced a similar software issue.The controls included a virtual steering wheel and options to shift gears, but they didn't actually allow the passenger to move the vehicle, forcing them to also get Tesla support involved in order to exit the car.Read More From First for AutosColorado Highway Dubbed 'America's Scariest Road' With 400-Foot Drops, Avalanche Risk and No GuardrailsChevy Silverado Owner Receives $15K Repair Quote From Dealership, $9K From Second MechanicCalifornia Drivers Could Face $238 Fine for Flashing Headlights to Warn Others About PoliceThis story Man Trapped for 14 Minutes in Tesla Cybercab After It Starts Driving in Circles first appeared on First for Autos.
