Today, CNBC released a new video with Consumer Reports comparing driver-assist systems. But there's a problem… in the video, they used Tesla's Autopilot, not Tesla's FSD (Supervised), and compared that to the top offerings in other automakers' cars. CNBC also claimed that Tesla lacked an effective driver monitoring camera, but Tesla does have one—so much so that some Tesla owners complain about its sensitivity. Camera based driver attention monitoring is less strict for Autopilot than it is for FSD (Supervised). Not once in the video did they test the latest version of Tesla's FSD. Consumer Reports says Ford and GM have the best driver assist systems. The Mercedes system they praise in the video is extremely limited and can only work on highways. Tesla's FSD (Supervised) will work on virtually any road in the US/Canada.

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’s vision-only approach to solve FSD got laughed at for many years. People called it reckless, said just cameras would never be enough, and even claimed Tesla was cutting corners. Fast forward to today, it’s pretty clear who was right. “It’s so obvious you can solve this with cameras. Why wouldn’t you solve with cameras? It’s 2026. The self-driving problem is not a sensor problem, it’s an AI problem. The cameras have enough information already. It’s a problem of extracting the information, which is an AI problem.” - Ashok Elluswamy, VP of AI at Tesla. Just like us humans, we drive with eyes, we walk with eyes, literally we do everything with our eyes. We don’t have lidar spinning and laser beams on our heads. We simply see the world and our brain figures it out… all from vision. For so many years, the industry treated autonomy like it was a hardware problem. Like “if cameras struggle, just add more sensors.” That’s exactly how companies like Waymo ended up with sensor towers that look like crazy science projects. So ugly btw too… That approach might have made sense in 2008, but not today! Bc back then, AI wasn’t good enough to truly understand the world. So engineers had no choice but to lean on lidar and radar for help. But today, cameras capture insane amounts of information, I’m talking billions of pixels every second. The thing that was missing was AI intelligence. And when AI can understand why a car is slowing or why a pedestrian is hesitating, or real world things, you just need a better brain instead of more sensors. And now, everyone else is realizing this… the future of autonomy was always about understanding the world through vision, just like we humans do. That’s the bet that Elon and Tesla made early on… he was already years ahead of everyone, when everyone was doubling down on LiDAR and radar, even when so many people mocked them for switching early. Tesla vision for the win!!! 🥇

Tesla owners insured with Lemonade who use FSD can save up to 50% on their insurance rates when the system is engaged, as it is 7x safer than a human driver. Lemonade gains access to the vehicle's telemetry data, which distinguishes between miles driven by FSD and miles driven by the human. The program is rolling out first in Arizona this month, then Oregon, with potential expansion to other states. Depending on several factors, FSD could essentially pay for itself through the savings.

Here's Elon Musk explaining why Tesla Robotaxi will be safer than Waymo. David Faber: “Why do you feel that [Tesla's camera-only approach] is going to be the equivalent [to Waymo's with radar and LiDAR] in terms of safety profile?” Elon: “Oh, I think it'll be better. The way that the road system is designed is for intelligence, biological neural nets, and eyes. So what will actually work best for the road system is digital neural nets and cameras. And we also have the microphones so the car can hear emergency vehicles. The whole road system is not designed for shooting lasers out of your eyes. We found that when you have multiple sensors, they tend to get confused. Do you believe the camera, or do you believe the LiDAR? And getting confused is what can lead to accidents. So we used to have, for example, a radar in the car, but we found that the radar and the camera would sometimes disagree and then you don't know which one to believe.” CNBC Interview with David Faber, May 20, 2025

Tesla's Q2 may have been more important than many people realize! Cern Basher says it wasn't just about beating delivery expectations with 480,126 vehicles. Tesla also deployed 13.5 GWh of energy storage, saw strong growth in China, and continued its recovery in Europe. The biggest takeaway? For the first time in a long time, several parts of Tesla's business appear to be improving at once, vehicles, Energy, FSD, Robotaxi, and Optimus. One strong quarter doesn't guarantee the future. But if this momentum continues, it could mark the beginning of Tesla's next growth cycle. $TSLA

Forget UPL, it's the Devin's simple right hand turn that FSD needs to master first. I am blown away that software as good as FSD can make mistakes as simple but devastating as this. This is the second time in less than two weeks that FSD has tried to pull infront of a vehicle on a VERY SIMPLE right hand turn. The car drove pretty much flawlessly all day today (3~ hours of driving) but it ends the day with a move like this and it just takes all the confidence I have with FSD away in a simple move. I understand that the version of FSD we have today is not what will be used in Austin in June, but the fact that FSD is making decisions like this and 'full autonomy' is less than 3 months away - it's a bit concerning to me. I would feel a bit better if a near flawless version of FSD existed 'in the wild' for several months before Austin happens, but that's just me. Tesla Model 3 HW4 FSD 13.2.8 Tesla AI Ashok Elluswamy

🚨 Tesla's next few months could be one of its busiest yet! Q2 deliveries are expected in early July, with Wall Street looking for around 400,000 vehicles and Goldman Sachs forecasting 420,000. But the bigger story goes beyond deliveries. Energy continues to become a bigger profit driver. Tesla FSD is expanding into more countries. Robotaxi is growing across Texas. And Optimus is moving closer to production, with a V3 reveal expected later this summer. People often focus on just one part of Tesla. The reality is there are five major businesses all moving forward at the same time. That's why the next few months could be so important for $TSLA.

It’s proof FSD is getting smarter and more reliable in real-world, high-stakes situations, and shows that Tesla’s AI is not just navigating roads, but saving lives. Source: Teslaconomics Tesla

$RIVN $TSLA Now I know why Tesla influencers are mad. Rivian just put a fork in the road for FSD monopoly. First initial reaction after 30 minutes of testing Rivian Universal Hands Free. In the video below, the car is doing all the work on back roads. FYI, Universal Hands Free is not equivalent to FSD yet, but point to point coming out in 2026 should put Rivian right up there. Here is the fork in the road: 1. Claim: Everyone will license FSD from Tesla. Reality: Rivian will release point to point next year. 2. Claim: Everyone is 10 years behind Tesla in autonomous driving. Reality: Rivian is only about 1.5 years behind. 3. Claim: LiDAR is too expensive. Reality: It costs around $200. 4. Claim: Multiple sensors cause confusion and delayed decision making. Reality: With early sensor fusion, there is no confusion or added complexity. 5. Claim: Tesla is the only software defined company. Reality: Rivian licenses its software to VW for $5 billion beating Tesla to it.

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

🇺🇸 Tesla has published new safety data for FSD Supervised, and the methodology is worth a look as much as the numbers. FSD has now covered over 12.6 billion miles, with nearly 4.9 billion of those driven in cities, where the hazards are densest. With FSD engaged, Tesla reports 7 times fewer major collisions, 7 times fewer minor collisions, and 5 times fewer off-highway collisions. What makes that interesting is how strictly the company counts against itself. If FSD was active at any point in the 5 seconds before a crash, it goes down as an FSD collision. That includes cases where the driver grabbed the wheel back or the system handed control over right before impact. Tesla also assigns no fault at all. If another car runs a red light and hits a Tesla on FSD, it still counts against FSD. Collisions are defined by federal standard rather than company preference, using airbag deployment for major crashes and a velocity change of 8 km/h within 150 milliseconds for minor ones. The data pipeline behind it is enormous. In one quarter alone, Tesla pulled 2.5 billion telemetry packages from the fleet. Most safety claims in this industry rest on a company's word. This one rests on a fleet that reports on itself, including when it fails. Source: Tesla / Writer: Julie

Uber CEO on Tesla using Camera Vision over LiDAR: “I think in the near-term it’s going to be very difficult, and Elon Musk would tell me I’m wrong, and never bet against him, but it’s my instinct — in the near-term it’s going to be very difficult to build a camera only product that has superhuman level of safety. Will it be possible? Quite possibly yes. If you can have instrumentations that include cameras and LiDAR ; the cost of Solid State LiDAR is only $400-$500— WHY NOT include LiDAR as well in order to achieve superhuman safety. So, possible? Yeah it will be — I don’t know when, but is possible the better product? I’m not sure. All of your partners right now are using a combination of camera, Radar and LiDAR, and I personally think that’s the right solution— but I could be proven wrong.”
