"The Cybercab prototype in question was sighted in Chicago, and its image was shared widely on social media. While the autonomous two-seater itself was visibly dirty, its rear camera area stood out as noticeably cleaner than the rest of the car. Traces of water were also visible on the trunk. This suggested that the Cybercab is equipped with a rear camera washer."
"The feature will likely allow the Cybercab to continue operating even in conditions when its cameras could be covered with dust, mud, or road grime. As noted by Model Y owner and industry watcher Sawyer Merritt, a rear camera washer is a feature many Tesla owners have requested for years, particularly in snowy or wet regions where camera obstruction can affect visibility and the performance of systems like Full Self-Driving (FSD)."
A Chicago sighting of a Cybercab prototype showed a noticeably cleaner rear camera area and traces of water on the trunk, indicating a rear camera washer. A rear camera washer addresses requests from Tesla owners in snowy or wet regions where camera obstruction can reduce visibility and impair systems like Full Self-Driving (FSD). The sighting raises the possibility that other external cameras could receive similar cleaning systems to provide redundant visibility safeguards. The Cybercab is Tesla's first purpose-built autonomous ride-hailing vehicle, unveiled in October 2024 and expected to enter production later this year without steering wheel or pedals.
