Tesla is continuing to prepare its Robotaxi app for the arrival of Cybercab. Hidden code discovered in version 26.6.0 reveals a range of unreleased passenger features.
Unlike Tesla’s current Model Y Robotaxis, the Cybercab has no steering wheel or pedals, making the mobile app a much more important part of the passenger experience. The latest decompilation suggests riders will be able to control many of the vehicle’s core cabin functions directly from their phone.
One of the biggest additions is around Cybercab seating. New assets and interface elements indicate support for both two-seat Cybercabs and future vehicles with additional passenger capacity. The app includes a dynamic seat selector that can adapt based on the vehicle being used, allowing riders to switch between individual seats or interact with a shared bench.
Rather than relying on simple buttons, Tesla appears to be implementing gesture-based controls. Dragging different sections of a virtual seat adjusts the seatback recline or cushion angle, while bench seats can slide forward or backward using a continuous swipe gesture. The code also references seatbelt checks and built-in limits that could restrict adjustments while the vehicle is moving.
Climate controls also appear to be getting an upgrade. The app includes a dedicated climate interface with gesture-based temperature controls that provide real-time feedback while remaining synchronized with the vehicle.
The update expands beyond passenger comfort. Code also indicates Tesla is building a much richer media experience inside the Robotaxi app. Riders will be able to adjust volume, skip tracks, manage playback queues, and access recently played content without touching the vehicle’s display. Live synchronization between the vehicle and the phone suggests the mobile app will effectively become the primary media remote during a trip.
Perhaps the most surprising discovery is a native Netflix interface. The update contains artwork, logos, metadata, and browsing elements that point to passengers being able to browse Netflix directly from their phone before sending content to the vehicle’s theater display.
Rather than acting as a simple remote, the app appears designed to provide a full streaming interface with posters, episode information, and content descriptions.
The decompilation also reveals preparations for powered door controls, including a deliberate “hold-to-open” gesture intended to reduce accidental activation, along with a stop command to immediately halt the doors if necessary.
