Tesla's Cybercab lands in Australia as transport unions gear up to fight
Tesla is touring the Cybercab through Australia's major cities, one week in each. The Transport Workers Union, with over 60,000 members, has allied with Uber to push for strict robotaxi rules: mandatory human safety operators, retraining and compensation for displaced drivers.
- Cybercab is on display in Australian showrooms, fenced off and untouchable
- TWU and Uber demand mandatory human operators and driver compensation
- 7 in 10 union members oppose driverless vehicles
- About 700 regulations are expected to be cleared within 18 months
