Tesla's Cybercab is touring Australian and New Zealand cities as a static display since local laws prevent robotaxi operation on public roads. Tesla aims to boost sales of its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software subscriptions rather than actual robotaxi rides, contrasting with live robotaxi services like Waymo's in Nevada.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face regulatory barriers that block robotaxi deployment in Australia and New Zealand, making FSD subscription your entry point rather than fleet operation. Selling software access now builds market familiarity ahead of legal openings that might allow robotaxis on roads.
