Tesla will display its Cybercab, a purpose-built driverless taxi, in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya from September 11, 2026. We walk through the three areas of procedure Japan requires before a driverless taxi can carry paying passengers, and ask who takes on the remote response, insurance, cleaning and repositioning that remain when the driver is gone. We also look at how Japanese posters on X reacted. Facts checked as of September 8, 2026.
