No little kids allowed, and other new info about Tesla’s Cybercab

Tesla says its upcoming Cybercab will not allow passengers under 13, even if they are riding with a parent. The rule is stricter than Tesla’s current Model Y robotaxi setup, which permits younger riders under supervision.

The policy highlights how purpose-built autonomous vehicles may face tighter safety and liability constraints than retrofitted cars. As robotaxi services expand, operators may increasingly use age restrictions and rider rules to manage risk and regulatory scrutiny.
