Tesla upgrades Cybercab computer and tests cabin‑camera driver verification for FSD

Tesla’s production Cybercab robotaxi is equipped with a more capable Full Self‑Driving computer than the AI4 unit used in consumer vehicles. The new hardware likely offers up to 64 GB of memory, exceeding the 32 GB limit that has constrained current neural‑network models, and may be an AI4+ configuration or a dual‑AI4 setup. The first Cybercab left the Texas Gigafactory in February and is being road‑tested in Austin, with plans to roll the robotaxi fleet out across about a dozen U.S. states by the end of 2026.

Separately, a recent update to the Tesla mobile app revealed code strings suggesting the company is developing a cabin‑camera identity check. The feature would compare the driver’s face to an authorized profile stored in the vehicle and could block Full Self‑Driving activation for unrecognized occupants, sending an alert to the driver’s phone. This system is intended for shared‑use scenarios and could play a role in future robotaxi operations, though it raises privacy and implementation concerns.
