Tesla Robotaxi: A New Era Begins. I’ve (very fortunately) been part of multiple robotaxi launches. But this one is different and feels much more profound. It’s a paradigm shift. It’s the GPT moment for real-world autonomy. Tesla’s robotaxi runs vision-only -- no lidar, no radar,.
The future of transportation is here with Tesla robotaxi

World's first autonomous delivery of a car!. This Tesla drove itself from Gigafactory Texas to its new owner's home ~30min away — crossing parking lots, highways & the city to reach its new owner

Personal Computer -> Personal LLM.
The race for LLM "cognitive core" - a few billion param model that maximally sacrifices encyclopedic knowledge for capability. It lives always-on and by default on every computer as the kernel of LLM personal computing. Its features are slowly crystalizing:. - Natively multimodal.

It is happening for real. A lot of work has gone into this first driverless testing on public roads, from modeling/algorithm, to system and operation. Proud of the team and more to come!.

Here is highlight clip #1 from my @Cybertruck FSD Supervised v13.2.2 First Impressions drive. I was confused why the truck stopped in the middle of the road, but then I came to realize I must not have been paying attention to the black cat trying to cross the road. Bravo

Wide release of v13 is coming (for AI4 cars), including features like start from trip, reversing, E2E on highway, speed profiles, actually smart summon and many more. This is the version that makes your car feel like a personal robotaxi. Hope you enjoy it!.
If you haven’t tried the latest @Tesla self-driving, you are missing out. It will blow your mind how good it is!. Pure magic.
