  • Tesla Signals Cybercab May Add Steering Wheel and Pedals
    October 28, 2025, 5:10 PM EDT. Tesla's chairwoman Robin Denholm said the company could equip the Cybercab with a steering wheel and pedals if required, signaling a potential pivot from the original no-steering-wheel design. The two-seat EV was introduced as a clean robotaxi intended for fully autonomous operation, with Elon Musk emphasizing a path toward autonomy and a 2026 production target. Regulators have relaxed rules for self-driving vehicles, but current exemptions cover limited cases, and Tesla hasn't solved unsupervised self-driving, leaving the Robotaxi plan in question. Tesla is setting up Cybercab production at Gigafactory Texas near Austin, viewing it as a cheaper alternative to the Model Y for its autonomous fleet. Analysts and observers note that a steering wheel might be necessary for actual volume delivery.
  • Amazon to Cut About 14,000 Jobs as It Bets on Leaner Structure and AI
    October 28, 2025, 5:00 PM EDT.

Company executives stressed the cuts aren't due to weak performance, arguing the business is performing well even as leadership doubles down on AI investments. Affected workers will receive 90 days to apply for other roles, and Reuters has flagged potential future cuts of up to about 30,000 in subsequent phases. The move mirrors a wider tech trend as major firms like Oracle, Microsoft, and Alphabet trim costs to fund AI-centric priorities while attempting to preserve profits.
