Elon Musk: Tesla self-driving is so powerful it could drive on an alien planet. “Waymo has autonomous vehicles with no one in it, but they're limited a few cities in the U.S. The Tesla solution is a much more difficult path to go but ultimately much more powerful. It is a general solution to self-driving. The Tesla software is just purely AI and vision. It doesn't rely on any expensive sensors, no LiDAR, no radars, or it doesn't even require knowing the area beforehand. You could have it drive someplace it's never been before and no Tesla's ever been before, it could be on an alien planet, and the car will still drive. And that's this year.” Interview with Mark Penn at CES, January 8, 2025

Former head of Tesla AI Andrej Karpathy: "I personally think Tesla is ahead of Waymo. I know it doesn't look like that, but I'm still very bullish on Tesla and its self-driving program. Tesla has a software problem and Waymo has a hardware problem. Software problems are much easier; The latest (Tesla) builds, they've made really good improvements. I'm really impressed with what the team is doing. Waymo looks like it's winning right now, but I think when we look in 10 years and who's actually at scale and where most of the revenue is coming from, I still think they're (Tesla) ahead."

Ricky, an amazing 71-year-old man, bought his first Tesla solely for the Tesla Self-Driving software. Without it, he would have to rely on someone else to drive for him. The Elon Musk effect on humanity.

These people have no idea Tesla Robotaxis are about to eat Waymo’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 1/ Waymo loses $ on every ride. Tesla Robotaxis will be very profitable. 2/ Waymo needs expensive LiDAR and clunky sensors. Tesla uses only vision and a neural net, just like humans. 3/ Waymo has 1,500 cars. Tesla can scale to millions quickly, 8M+ vehicles is the current fleet size. 4/ Waymo isn’t vertically integrated, they rely on other automakers. Tesla builds the hardware, the software, and the AI, all under one roof. 5/ Waymo looks like a science experiment. Tesla looks like the future. By the time people start to realize what’s happening, it’ll already be too late. This will be a winner-take-all market, and I can confidently say that Tesla Robotaxis will be #1.

.Elon Musk has spent years making and breaking promises about the Tesla Semi, just like his broken promises about Tesla Full Self-Driving. Aurora Innovation has self-driving trucks hauling freight on US roads. Tesla has zero. Waymo does 250,000 paid robotaxi rides a week. Tesla does zero. Tesla is so far behind its competitors that you need a telescope to see it.

#tesla #autopilot is borderline unusable in its current state... if the software is getting better and better why are we getting nagged to the point of being more stressful to keep it running then just driving ourselves? @tesla Elon Musk

“Elon Musk, you’ll say I’m wrong, but in the short term it will be very difficult to have a camera-only autonomous car like Tesla. Camera, LiDAR, and radar is the right solution.”

Elon: "Tesla AI is where the rubber hits the road. 'Make no mistakes' is not just a meme joke for self-driving AI. Tesla AI saves lives every day, at large scale. No other AI team can yet make that claim." Tesla

This is a $15,000 BYD Seal 06 EV and it is crushing Tesla in sales growth. Elon Musk once mocked BYD but now $BYDDY supplies batteries to Tesla which helped $TSLA achieve much faster charging times. BYD batteries power Tesla Megapacks 🤡

🚨 Morgan Stanley on $TSLA: $415 PT, $845 bull case Jeff Lutz 🔋 says the key point is Tesla getting close to 10B FSD miles, a big step for proving self-driving. Tesla is shifting from cars to software and AI, which could bring higher margins. The real advantage is data, and Tesla is obviously far ahead!

Watch Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1.1 fail to leave a parking spot and give up, twice! Elon Musk this doesn't seem "sentient", just yet another example of how far away from unsupervised robotaxis Tesla is.

Tesla robotaxi slams on brakes hard — catches influencer riding by surprise, who says “it braked for no reason,” but was it due to mild sun glare, which is kryptonite for Tesla’s lame full self driving software (FSD)? Get why Waymo uses lidar and radar?

This New Jersey bill would essentially ban Tesla Tesla Robotaxi in the state. Elon Musk has explained this before. Roads were designed for humans who drive with 2 eyes and a brain. Tesla drives with 8 cameras as eyes and an AI chip performing hundreds of trillions of operations per second as a brain, which is faster and more accurate than any human on the road. Adding extra sensors doesn't make the car safer. It only adds noise to a system that already sees more than we do. I wish more lawmakers would take the time to understand the technology before writing bills that hold America's innovation back.

Andrej Karpathy in a new interview on Waymo’s approach vs Tesla’s approach: “Tesla took in my mind the a lot more scalable approach, and I think the team is doing extremely well. I’m on the record for predicting this will go; Waymo will have an early start because you can package so many sensors, but do think Tesla is taking the more scalable strategy 📈. This will still have to play out, it hasn’t. The end is not near yet, when we’re talking about self-driving— usually in my mind, it’s Self-Driving at scale. People won’t need to get a drivers license etc.”

Elon Musk in a new interview this morning on Tesla FSD: "In terms of having self-driving be ubiquitous, I think we’re making steady progress. The Tesla Full Self-Driving software, which is really just AI and cameras, we don’t use radars or LIDAR or anything like that. It’s really trying to drive the car in the same way that a human drives the car, primarily with vision and with a biological neural net. We take the same approach with our vehicles, which is a digital neural net and cameras. I expect this approach to ultimately be at least an order of magnitude safer than humans driving. It is quite magical because the car feels like it is sentient. It actually feels like it’s alive and you can actually, as we improve the software, feel the sentience growing in the car. We already have some vehicles operating with no people inside with no safety monitors in three cities in Texas and probably will be widespread in the US by the end of this year and hopefully in Israel too" Tesla FSD is beginning to feel more and more sentient with each update, it’s incredible. All without the use of Radar or LiDAR. It’s all about the 🧠.

Tesla, you need to give us back max speed control.. enough of this experiment - it doesn't work. There is no way that I can travel faster than 15 on this road straight downhill and sloth is trying to go 21 or 22. Tesla AI Dirty Tesla
