1963 Studebaker Westinghouse prototype

Westinghouse came to Studebaker with an idea in 1963. They wanted a simple truck with an eight foot bed that they could utilize for their in town deliveries. It was designed with flat panels to simplify the tooling and was a cab over design. It used the 289 cubic inch engine that was used in their other products and a three speed automatic transmission. Studebaker was on the verge of bankruptcy when they took on the Westinghouse project and any hopes that the prototype would save Studebaker vanished when the South Bend, Indiana plant closed in December 1963.

Tesla Cyber Cab

These Cybercabs were introduced at an announcement event in October 2024. Twenty Cybercabs were provided at that time for demonstration rides. They are self driving and do not have steering wheels or pedals. Apparently they began production in February 2026.

Why didn't they simply drive through the gate???
