00:02Tesla's cyber cab service in Austin faced fresh questions after a rider said a short trip in
00:06North Austin took about 70 minutes because the vehicle avoided highways. The rider said they
00:11traveled from 99 Ranch Market to the Domain on Saturday and paid $20. Tesla's app provided a
00:16cost estimate but did not show an expected trip duration. Commenters said the route likely reflected
00:21current operating constraints, including avoiding highways and some rail crossings.
00:25The incident comes as Tesla pushes ahead with cyber cab development. Elon Musk has said its
00:30production process could be five times faster than traditional automotive production.
00:34Meanwhile, Waymo said it is expanding its service to Las Vegas, bringing its operations to 15 cities.
00:40Tesla shares were down 0.30% to $357.90 in Tuesday pre-market trading.
