Elon Musk, on Sunday, emphasized Tesla Inc.’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) Cybercab robotaxi accessibility features for blind users, such as Braille lettering on controls and promotional materials.
Tesla Shows Cybercab Accessibility Features
Musk took to X, stating, "Making sure Cybercab meets the needs of the blind," reacting to a Tesla Robotaxi post that showed the Cybercab at the National Federation of the Blind’s annual convention in Austin, Texas. The post highlighted hands-on demonstrations of accessibility features aimed at blind and visually impaired riders.
The official Tesla Robotaxi post showed the vehicle alongside Braille-printed promotional material, interior controls and a passenger entering the Cybercab with a white cane. The company said the vehicle includes Braille lettering on key controls, dedicated room for service animals and assistive devices, and wheelchair-height seating to make transfers easier.
The Cybercab’s tactile Braille markings appear on the hazard button, which also functions as an emergency stop, and on interior door releases. The focus marks another sign that Tesla is trying to position the Cybercab as more than a futuristic two-seat robotaxi without a steering wheel or pedals.
