This is a separate incident from the Hugging Face breach. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/company-news/2026/09/04/openai-agents-hijacked-german-website-in-previously-undisclosed-ai-breakout-this-spring/ Tesla launched the Cybercab at an invite-only event in Austin yesterday, a two-seater robotaxi with no steering wheel, no pedals, and a camera-only system.
