For our coverage

Di restriction and di fact say na only seat belt fit secure pikin seat raise child-passenger safety questions wey nobody don answer. E still limit di ride-hailing trips wey Cybercab fit serve as dem dey roll am out.

Impact assessment

• Passengers wey never reach 13: Dem no fit ride Cybercab under Tesla current terms.
• Parents and guardians: Some minors fit use Robotaxi Model Y trips with adult, but Cybercab still no dey available to children under 13.
• Tesla: Dem dey face close scrutiny while di NHTSA investigation still dey open.

Scenarios

Di one wey likely pass: If Tesla keep im current Robotaxi-app terms and operating details, Cybercab service go continue to exclude passengers wey never reach 13 and use di crash-response and rider-support procedures wey dem talk.

If things go better: If Tesla release more safety or operating information wey evidence support, e fit make di child-rider restriction, child-seat use or Cybercab crash procedures clearer.

If things go worse: If new safety issues or regulatory actions show while NHTSA investigation still dey open, scrutiny fit increase and Tesla fit change Cybercab operating terms.

Wetin to watch next

• Whether Tesla go issue more guidance about child seats or safety.
