I met an Apple employee who was at the @tesla event and he told me that Apple killed its autonomous car after figuring out what Tesla was building.

I am about to go to bed. The markets won’t get what happened last night at @tesla. I couldn’t be more impressed. Elon Musk laid out a bunch for next decade. I have been to a lot of product launches and never have been to one like this.

Every AI video creator has this nightmare: You generate a character with one prompt… but in the next shot, she’s a different person. Different face. Different skin. Different eyes. You can’t tell a story like that. BACH — the world’s first Industrial-Grade AI video engine — finally fixes it. Locked Character Consistency. Same woman. Multiple shots. Multiple angles. Zero morphing. Watch this 👇

CES=Chinese Electronics Show. Almost every booth we visited had a Chinese speaker. I gave a tour to the technology leaders from a big Chinese company. We visited Booster Robotics, pictured here. Among about a dozen others. Most are Chinese companies. Or seeing the Antigravity 360-degree drone. Which was the thing that made me drool the most. You put on a VR headset and it is like flying. You can look in all directions and the drone doesn’t need to turn anything. Try to get a chance to try it. Never experienced anything like it. $1,600.

Today hit a traffic light that was out. The AI in my Tesla handled it just fine. Showing why when the power is out it still works. Decentralized computing architecture for the win. It works even if the Internet is down. We just had a great dinner in Half Moon Bay, California. Heading home in a stormy night. Merry Christmas!

These robots are the fastest. Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League is practicing today. Race on Saturday. Formula 1 speeds. All AI, no humans. I am getting first look at this third race, the AI is much better than last year. Am getting the details behind the simulators and AI involved. Video later in the week.

Grok has a huge advantage for me. I spend a lot of time in my Tesla. Grok will control the experience. No other will get close. APIs not available to all. Distribution matters. When Cybercab hits your street in 2027 you all will be forced to use Grok and you all happily will join me. The experience inside will be better than any other. Because of Grok. And you all will use it. Been interviewing Waymo customers in San Francisco. They all say driving is dead.

The Holodeck. ⚡️𝖘𝖚𝖙𝖚⚡️ is here showing me a prototype of something coming later this year. A virtual cube full of experiences created by artists. I couldn’t share much because this is coming later this year. But I want one sitting on my coffee table.

It's 2030 and you are reviewing humanoid robots. A Tesla. A Google. An Apple. An OpenAI. A Meta. A Figure. And a bunch of Chinese-made ones. Which one is best, and why? I think the Tesla understands the world much better. Why? There were eight Teslas around me on the freeway today. Start there. No other robot company has that data. But my robot is parked at the local high school twice a day. Its cameras see humans in all of our weirdness. How we move. Where we go. Where we walk. Who we talk with. What you are wearing. Whether your hair was combed this morning. That data will lead to robotics breakthroughs. Apple might keep up with its Vision Pro data, but it is too freaked out by the privacy implications of using said data. (On the front are six cameras and a couple of TOF -- Time Of Flight -- sensors that can see everything in your home in great detail). Google has a lot of data, for sure. All my: 1. Email. 2. Calendars. 3. Photos. 4. TV watching behavior. 5. Contacts. 6. Documents and spreadsheets. 7. Files. 8. Location data. So I expect Google's robot will be attractive to many. But how do you see the others shake out over the next five years? Make some guesses. But remember what an AI pioneer told me years ago about AI: it's all about the data. The Chinese ones have huge advantages: the Chinese have more data on their citizens, and many more citizens to boot AND they can make robots cheaper than we can. But now that you know OpenAI is building its own robot you have caught wind of what I've heard from many in San Francisco and Silicon Valley: that humanoid robots are the real prize of AI and will be highly profitable for those that can make them and find customers willing to buy them. Here, too, I learned long ago never to bet against Elon Musk. Will you?

With two teenagers I never realized how used to dirty floors I had gotten. Now my robot cleans up every night. We love our Matic Robots. The most advanced computer vision in a vacuum. And, yes, I have a list of everyone in computer vision (look at my profile and find “view lists” to find that).

The cofounder of Factory told me that being a daily customer of Waymo for almost two years is a super power. I see now what he meant. Once you trust your life to AI running on melted sand you change to wanting to let AI do it all.

Robots will bring billionaire living to a lot more people. I had the blessing to eat with Guy Savoy several times. One of the best chefs in the world. He, and other top chefs taught me about the importance of getting fresh ingredients. Here is how robots and World Models will bring that and what do I mean by “everything as a service?” In three years I will have this conversation with my 1X Neo humanoid robot: “Hey Neo I want to upgrade our food to billionaire level.” “I can do that. Food as a service costs $500 a month. I will buy only hand grown fresh organic food and I will prepare amazing meals for you and your family.” Where is the supply chain for such food? Farmers’ markets where everything is fresh and organic. You gotta stop buying at grocery stores to upgrade your diet. “Hey Neo here are the keys to Tesla Robotaxi. And here is my credit card. Start up food as a service.” Neo will take an autonomous car to the market. “But Neo how do you know where to go?” “Well a guy on X did a video of the farmer’s market nearby.” “I watched it, and now know roughly the kinds of things I can get there.” We are too late to start today, the market is closed now, but we can start next week. Look at this video the way Grok does. I am playing humanoid today. In one visit my Neo will ingest all of this into its World Model. In the second visit it will get even better. In the third visit even better. World models are going to be real time by the end of next year from a variety of companies. فيصل Tesla Robotaxi already serves both our home and the market. Our Tesla drove us there and already knows where it is. Grok is already a world model. In a few minutes it can tell you what it learned by watching this video. It watches all my videos before distributing them to you. So it knows how not to overwhelm @jason’s feed with my prolific posting. It will get a lot better soon. But after three trips to this farmer’s market my robot will know everything about this market including the names of the farmers. Watch this video, you meet one. Grok can do a RAG search and learn everything about him, including that he doesn’t have a Website, and only posts on Facebook. Also that he takes Apple Pay. It already knows everything it sees. The names of the vegetables, fruits, nuts, and what is ravioli. One vendor sells fresh ravioli made early this morning. If you are freaked out by privacy have your Neo stay in the garage until it is time to do something for you. In three years I will be eating fresh food with my brother in law while football is on the TV. If you don’t have a robot you won’t eat as well unless you are a billionaire who can afford to pay the human to shop and cook for you. The Robotaxi network starts up next year (without humans). The world models get good next year. By 2030 every one of you will have a robot in your home, at least part time. Who has the best world model? Tesla. Who understands the real world better? Grok. (I didn’t give this video to anyone else). Who soon will have the best humanoid? Tesla. Which company already has a Robotaxi in my driveway? Tesla. Which company has the best video ingestion engine? Tesla. Which company is about to turn on a real time world model? xAI. Which company would you want to invest in? Tesla and xAI. Which is why, if you are a Tesla investor and you didn’t vote for Tesla to invest in xAI you hurting yourself.. Everything as a service is about to arrive. Everyone who can afford a $20,000 robot, which can be financed will have it next year. I will. Anyone worried about privacy has no idea how useful this all will be to make your lives better. And how much money it will make for a robot company to put it all together. And only Tesla has all the pieces to make the meal.

This road claims lives every year. This is one of the most dangerous roads in America. A mistake here is like hitting solid concrete at 120 miles per hour. Highway 152 near Gilroy, California. Oncoming traffic at a high rate of speed. Death and destruction only six feet away. Ford’s head of safety told me that most humans don’t do the right thing which is to scrub off maximum energy in to a wreck. I just diss the whole thing without touching my robot once. I am actually a doomer. I think through every millisecond of what would happen if a drunk comes directly at me. You probably won’t survive. But in a Cybercab with no steering wheel there is a good chance. The steering wheel kills many in high speed crashes. Getting rid of the steering wheel and using the extra eight inches of space for a bigger airbag will save many lives. By the way the marketers already know that if you trust a robot to do dangerous jobs for a couple of years you will be happy to trust your Optimus with your sex toys and guns. Figure won’t have the same trust level. Which is why I am most bullish about Tesla when it comes to robots in the home. It doesn’t matter who is first to the home. That won’t be Tesla. It matters most who has the most trust. I will wait for the Tesla. It has earned my trust. My robot does dangerous jobs every day. In the near future the Teslas ahead will warn my robot that a drunk driver is coming so pull over to the side and stop, which is the best action to take. Reduces speed offset by half giving you a dramatically higher chance of survival.
