Tesla FSD brakes for an invisible van 👀 Just... two guys casually talking while being driven around by FSD.. we thought: HUH?! Why would it stop, ah ofcourse FSD already saw what two Human Pilots failed to recognize. A wild invisible van appeared FSD didn’t even blink & said: hold my beer robot*irlshow more

Almost got into an accident this afternoon while on... FSD. FSD thought the FedEx truck would make its turn quicker. When it realized it couldn't, it tried to go around. At the same time, there was a car approaching in the right lane. I assume FSD calculated there was space for me in the right lane, but it really should have just slowed down. I had to slam on the brakes and steer the car to the left to avoid the driver side of my car clipping the trucks bumper. It was way too close for comfort. I have done tens of thousands of miles on FSD and have never had anything this close happen before.show more

Tesla Self-Driving likely saved a man's life on my... commute this morning. 🥹 Pouring rain. Both of us signaled to merge into the same empty lane at nearly the same time. FSD reacted immediately. I didn't even see him until FSD was already handling it. A camera-based neural net saw a motorcyclist in a rainstorm that a human didn’t and people are still debating whether this technology works. It doesn't just work. It saves lives. Thank you Tesla AIshow more

FSD just gained a new lifetime user. I saw... this posted on reddit and thought I would share it here. ---- I am not a regular subscriber, but I was getting over COVID. With the foggy brain I subscribed to FSD just for the month to help me get around while recovering. I am fully recovered but get to enjoy the rest of the month of FSD. Car updated from 13.2.9 yesterday to 14.2. Today on my way home this happened! I couldn't figure out why it was slamming on the brakes until a mere second before the deer jumped out. I am so thankful. It doesn't replace human intervention but all the extra 'eyes' help. I'm still in shock and so happy I didn't destroy the deer and the car. source:show more

🚨 Tesla FSD faces a no-win scenario Tesla on... FSD at 47 mph on a rural two-lane road • Dog steps into the path as oncoming traffic fills the opposite lane •No shoulder available and no time to stop The system’s decision • Held its lane • Protected the people in both vehicles • Dog was hit Why it matters • Classic real-world trolley problem • Safety rule: never trade an animal for a human collision • Humans often swerve and cause worse crashes Hard to watch. This is what maturing autonomous judgment looks like.show more

Wow! FSD 14.3.2 just saved my cybertruck and 4... deer by stopping and swerving as I was going 73 mph in pitch dark at midnight. I didn’t touch anything. I don’t even know if I would have even reacted so fast without avoid them. So thankful for FSD 🙏🏼 This isn’t the first time it’s slowed for a deer but this is the most aggressive action it has taken to avoid and can clearly see how quick it is for reaction. Well done Tesla AIshow more

Tesla FSD 14.3.3 just saved me from a potential... side-swipe collision — again. Watch this: I’m cruising in the right lane at ~45 mph when the green station wagon on my left suddenly drifts over, cutting sharply into my lane and toward the shoulder. FSD spots the intrusion instantly, smoothly steers right to create maximum safe distance, and progressively slows us down while keeping everything controlled. This is exactly why FSD’s multi-camera 360° vision is such a game-changer. It sees threats from every angle faster and more reliably than a human driver possibly could, especially in these split-second “what the heck is this guy doing?” moments. Grateful for the extra layer of safety. FSD continues to impress. 👏 Tesla AIshow more

🚨 France put two FSD cars on its own... roads after talking with Elon • Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot: months of technical work with Tesla, then a constructive exchange with Elon • Two FSD-equipped cars now running French roads so Paris can check the data itself • Tests due mid to late September. An EU technical vote can land as early as October 6 • Netherlands opened first. Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania already followed • Tesla logged 100 million km of FSD Supervised in those five countries. Collision rate there is about 4.1x lower than manual Teslas July’s line from Paris was that the safety trade-off was not good enough. September’s line is road testing. That is a real shift. Europe does not need another demo video. It needs a large country to sit in the car and then vote. France just started that process. The software has been driving European roads for months. Most of the map is still waiting for a yes.show more

Today Tesla FSD unequivocally saved me and my fiancée... from a major collision or worse. Green arrow to turn left and FSD starts to go then suddenly stops, I'm thinking why did you stop I hit the accelerator pedal, it breaks again at the same time a SUV barrels through the intersection running a red light. From my view In the car I never saw the vehicle. Had I been in any other vehicle and pressed the accelerator I have no doubt I would have been T- boned in my driver side door. This happens everyday and lives are lost. This technology saves lives. Thank you Tesla and Tesla_AI for keeping us safe anywhere we go. 2026 Model Y AWD on V14.3.6show more

Just had one of the worst drives I've ever... had in 5 years with FSD in the rain ... for some reason even though it limits you to Standard it would not stop getting into the left lane (and was capped at speed limit). And the left lane was flooded in spots... Tesla AI - the left lane obsession needs to end. At this point it's bizarre. Especially in these conditions. I manually had to move the car back to the right 10 times in 5 minutes. And overall ... I'm not going to lie I could not see anything. My heart rate was probably at 150 bpm. So I want to be an FSD but I don't want to be 3 ft from a barrier hydroplaning.. When the speed is limited in these conditions and it won't go the speed limit anyway - FSD NEEDS to stay out of the left lane!!!show more

Today I had my first demo drive in a... Tesla. It was also my first time ever sitting in one. This was the first car I’ve ever sat in the driver’s seat of where I didn’t touch the steering wheel for over 20 miles. Before I even got to the car, the people who had demoed it before me were an older married couple who were absolutely euphoric. They thought it was so cool that the car could drive itself. The Tesla employee told me this happens all the time. People come back from demo drives and tell the next test driver that they’re about to have an amazing experience. Little did I know, I’d end up carrying on the torch to the next couple demoing it after me. There was a ton of construction where I demoed the car, and FSD handled the entire drive extremely well. And yes, it can go through a drive-thru and stop at each window. The only thing I had to do was tap the pedal because it wouldn’t leave on its own, but it was still wild seeing the AI stop perfectly at the second window and wait. There are a million things I could write about why a Tesla feels like a better car and how much more it offers compared to a regular car. But for now, I’ll stick to FSD. There were only two moments that made me a little uneasy. The first was pretty minor. The car slightly hesitated going up a driveway, but quickly made up its mind. The second was more noticeable. I didn’t realize the car was nagging me. Once I touched the steering wheel, nothing happened, so I pulled it right a little harder, then let go. After that, the car turned left and crossed a double yellow on a backroad. (and yes I know you can sue the volume knob) I’m not totally sure if it was trying to pull over or what it was doing. I wanted to see how it would handle the situation, but there were cars coming, so I took over and corrected it. One of the coolest moments was when I thought FSD was glitching because it came to a complete stop in the middle of a busy road. Then I looked around and realized why. On the right side, there was a bicyclist waiting at a yellow crosswalk. The cars behind me didn’t honk, and the Tesla stopping actually incentivized another car in the right lane to stop and let him pass. The car is almost too nice to pedestrians, because 99.999% of humans would’ve blown through that, especially with no flashing light. For 99.9% of the drive, the car navigated confidently and smoothly. It was a real “feel the AGI” moment. Please do not let the media, the general public, or anyone else convince you that this technology is just some kind of auto assist or glorified cruise control. This is undoubtedly getting extremely close to feeling superhuman. You still have to pay attention to the road, but after experiencing it myself, I’d be shocked if HW4 Teslas aren’t unsupervised within the next couple years. The car was extremely smooth. There was no harsh braking, and it even avoided something in the road that I didn’t see. Driving with FSD made me realize I probably wasn’t driving as well as I could be. Hopefully, eventually, everyone’s car can be as mindful as a Tesla. I’ve never seen a brand so far removed from the public’s sentiment. I’m so happy I ordered one.show more

Today marks 21 straight days of our family’s West... Coast road trip in the Cybertruck. So far we’ve driven 3,493 miles, and every mile has reminded me why I believe this is THE greatest road-trip vehicle ever built. Tesla FSD has handled all the driving, which means I get to spend more time playing & talking with my family, enjoying the scenery, and arriving at each destination feeling far less worn out than I ever did on road trips in the past in a non-Tesla. The Cybertruck has been an absolute beast. It’s comfortable, incredibly capable, has more than enough room for everything we’ve packed, and has taken us through cities, highways, mountains, and national parks without missing a beat. After 21 straight days on the road, it’s needed zero maintenance, just charging and going, like a phone. The combination of the Cybertruck, Tesla’s Supercharger network, and FSD completely changes what a road trip feels like. After 3,493 miles and 21 consecutive days behind the wheel, I can honestly say I’ve never experienced anything like it. A Tesla truly makes road trips multiple times more enjoyable… I can’t ever imagine driving anything else.show more

I was on the tail end of a 500... mile drive back from Omaha yesterday with my 77 year old dad and we nearly had a very serious accident, possibly deadly for the other driver. Look at this older Toyota Corolla blow this light at 60mph more than 3 seconds after it turns red. If it was me driving, because I could not see the Corolla as it was occluded by the stopped cars, we would have had a head on collision or I'm mid-turn and he would have impacted my dad's side of my Cybertruck. Thankfully Tesla FSD was doing the driving and it has superhuman reaction to brake pedal application time (aka PRT = perception response time) of about 0.25s while very good human is 0.8-0.9s or average human is 1.5-2.5s. This is life saving technology and it may have saved one yesterday. Thanks to Ashok Elluswamy, Elon Musk, and the whole team behind this.show more

TESLA OPTIMUS: THE BIGGEST PRODUCT EVER – BUILDING ON... MULTIPLE PLANETS Optimus isn’t just a humanoid robot—it’s poised to become Tesla’s most valuable product by far, solving labor shortages on Earth and enabling construction, exploration, and self-sufficiency on other worlds. Elon has called it the “biggest product ever,” with trillions in potential value as it scales from factories to homes to interplanetary bases. Why it’s the game-changer: • Earth impact — Handles dangerous/repetitive tasks in manufacturing, mining, healthcare, and households—creating abundance by making physical labor optional and ultra-efficient. • Multiplanetary builder — Optimus bots can operate in harsh environments like Mars or the Moon: constructing habitats, mining resources, assembling solar farms, and maintaining life support without human risk. • Scalable fleets — Billions of units possible; AI-driven, they learn from Tesla’s FSD tech, improving fleet-wide with every deployment—perfect for bootstrapping off-world civilizations. • Economic explosion — Cheaper than human labor long-term, Optimus unlocks exponential productivity on Earth while being the workforce for Starship-delivered Mars cities. From early factory trials to planetary pioneers, Optimus turns sci-fi into reality: the robot that builds humanity’s future, one planet at a time.show more

Do Teslas Dream? Do Teslas dream, of things unseen?... Does your 3 insist, that that Y exists? When its stable mate, is your storage crate? Is the garbage bin, an X again? Or the heating duct, a Cybertruck? Does a weary auto-label, see autos in its stable? One more mirage, in your one car garage? Its invisible friend, is just pretend? Hey, Green the Only! Are our Teslas lonely? We need to find, what’s in their mind. Dr Know It All, please make the call. Is the FSD chip, looking for companionship? We may never know, save for Dojo. We’ll soon take backseats in our robo-taxis. So will this silicon stranger, put us all in danger? As it runs about, on another route. Looking for its soul-mate, just passed the next toll-gate. Its attention diverted, to thoughts more perverted? Will it stick to its scheme, as it starts to daydream? Should we take a strong stance, against this pending romance? Dread not this illusion, for it’s human delusion. One more deception, From human projection. This dry neural net, It’s clearly not wet. Nor even sentient, Despite human sentiment. We tend give intent, to things we invent. It’s pure paranoia, borne of pareidolia Our gift of abstraction, is behind this distraction. When we can’t comprehend, our souls we will lend. To objects inert, nor even alert. Don’t ascribe intelligence, to mechanical elegance. It can’t have a thought, it’s only a bot! We worry for naught, of an AI on-slaught! Fear not what your taught.

Sitting here watching my Cybertruck charge with the mountains... of Utah in the background, it hit me again… I really believe this is the most beautiful Tesla ever made. Every angle is different. It looks futuristic without trying too hard, and it fits just as well in the middle of a city as it does surrounded by nature like this. What makes this truck special is so much more than just the stainless steel or design. For me it’s how capable and practical it is. Long road trips, hauling gear, camping, tough weather, and FSD… it feels like THE one vehicle built to do almost everything. I’ve owned and driven many Teslas over the years, and every one has been amazing in their own unique way, but the Cybertruck is the first one that genuinely makes me stop and look back every time I park it. Driving across the U.S. in this beast has only reinforced that feeling. And to me, the Cybertruck is the best vehicle Tesla has ever built.show more

Taiwan News: In a sad development the government has... announced that one of Taiwan’s most iconic sounds will pass into history this July as garbage trucks will stop playing Beethoven’s “Für Elise” due to copyright infringement. At a press conference Taiwan Garbage Department 台灣垃圾署spokesperson Mr Yu Ren-jie 余仁傑 said “While Für Elise is in the public domain, it appears the specific arrangement of the classic we have been playing is copyrighted.” He said the Dutch trademark agency Shietmark had contacted them and demanded royalty payments for use of the jingle. “While the Dutch graciously offered a low rate of 1 USD per day per garbage truck,” he said, “we have over 5,000 trucks across Taiwan, which would cost us NTD50 million per year.” It turns out that a Dutch tourist by the name of Johann van der Smut had uploaded a clip of the yellow garbage truck playing the tune which brought this infraction to the attention of Shietmark. When contacted about this, Mr Van der Smut was apologetic. “My fahza loves Beethoven and I just wanted to bring a smile to his face,” he cried (at least that’s what we think he said). Mr Yu said the government will hold a referendum in May to choose a replacement song but the public will only get to select from songs by Taiwanese artists to avoid possible future copyright issues. “Maybe a song by Jay Chow or GEM would get selected,” he suggested hopefully. #Taiwan #Holland #Dutch #AustinPowers #AprilFools #aprilfoolsday2026 #Beethovenshow more

🐝 I just saw a drone the size of... a fly and it honestly made me pause. Not because it’s futuristic, but because it’s already here. Scientists are now building AI-powered micro-drones that look and move like real insects. Each one can fly, record, and transmit data — all while being almost invisible to the human eye. What’s truly new is the combination of biomimicry and artificial intelligence. They don’t just fly; they think like insects — adjusting to wind, avoiding obstacles, and navigating spaces too small for any traditional drone. Imagine what this unlocks: → Search and rescue in disaster zones → Environmental monitoring without disturbance → Precision agriculture and crop tracking → Real-time surveillance anywhere on Earth It’s an incredible leap in engineering and a powerful reminder that innovation often starts small. But as our machines learn to see everything, can we still decide what should remain unseen? #AI #Innovation #Drones #Technology #Future #Ethics #Surveillanceshow more
