Lars Moravy, Vice President of Vehicle Engineering at Tesla, Discussing Tesla’s Cybersecurity Before the U.S. Senate: “We have many layers of security in our system. Our driving controls are in a core-embedded central layer that cannot be accessed from outside the vehicle. In addition, our security protocols insure that no firmware can be downloaded to the vehicle without the modern equivalent of a “two man role”. In order to assign a firmware, two people must sign off with individual keys — to make that encrypted firmware can be uploaded to the vehicle safely. To answer your question on if anyone has been able to take over control of our vehicles, the answer is simply no. To make sure that never happens we actively participate in hacking events— paying people to try and hack our cars. We’re the only automotive manufacturer who does that.”

🚨 WAYMO ROBOTAXI DRIVES INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE U.S. - EMERGENCY CONTROL ROUTED TO THE PHILIPPINES A passenger inside a Waymo self-driving autonomous robotaxi filmed the moment the car entered oncoming traffic on a U.S. road. When the rider called for help, support answered from the Philippines - attempting to remotely intervene while the driverless car was still moving through traffic. Control is “escalated.” The call breaks up. The operator disappears. The frustrated passenger eventually says he's getting out and will handle it himself. A self-driving car. Wrong-way traffic. Remote control from the other side of the world. So who’s really driving these cars - and who else has access?

🚨 ELON MUSK SAYS YOU’LL SOON BE ABLE TO FALL ASLEEP IN A TESLA — AND WAKE UP AT YOUR DESTINATION. He calls Full Self-Driving “an AI-driven car.” “Tesla AI software that drives the car just by looking like a human does.” He says Tesla has “the most advanced real world AI” and Europe is about to see it. Approval in the Netherlands? Reportedly March 20. And then this: “This year, you’ll be able to fall asleep in the Tesla and wake up at your destination.” Not driver assist. Autonomous.

ELON: TESLA’S APPROACH TO SELF-DRIVING IS DIFFICULT BUT ULTIMATELY VERY POWERFUL “There already are autonomous vehicles in some regions. Waymo has autonomous vehicles with no one in it. But they're limited to a few cities in the U.S. The Tesla solution, which is a much more difficult path to go but ultimately much more powerful, is a general solution to self-driving. The Tesla software is purely AI and vision. It doesn't rely on any expensive sensors, no lidars, no radars. It doesn't even require knowing the area beforehand. You could have it drive someplace it's never been before, and no Tesla has ever been before. It could even be an alien planet. And the car will still work, still drive.” Source: CES, January 8, 2025

Elon Musk says Tesla swallows 1.5 GB of video into 2 KB of control. "We really are photons in, controls out. That is the vast majority of your life: vision, photons in, and then motor controls out." Musk reduced the human nervous system to a single equation. That theory runs in every Tesla on the road. "Your Tesla is taking in one and a half gigabytes a second of video and outputting two kilobytes a second of control outputs with the video at 36 hertz and the control frequency at 18." A 750,000-to-1 compression ratio. The car decides which photons matter. "You don't care about the details of the leaves on the tree on the side of the road, but you care a lot about the road signs and the traffic lights, the pedestrians, and even whether someone in another car is looking at you or not looking at you." Then Musk extended the equation past Tesla. The same architecture runs Optimus. **Photons in. Controls out.** Different number of degrees of freedom. A car has steering and acceleration. A robot arm has dozens of joints. Same compression. More fingers on the other side. Musk, who built one Tesla AI engine across two products: "AI is mostly compression and correlation of two bitstreams." The implication: a human, a Tesla, and an Optimus all run the same loop. Musk, looking back at the human equation: "This is what happens with humans." If you're new here, GeniusThinking is a gallery for the greatest minds in economics, psychology, and history.

In the early days of Waymo's service in Phoenix, they had a large number of roadside assistance vans traveling alongside their vehicles, each with two people inside. When the Waymo vehicle got stuck, one person would jump out of the RA van and drive the car. Today Waymo still has roadside assistance vans ready to help when a car has an issue, but they don't have to be directly with one car — issues are rare enough that a few roadside assistance vans can handle a much larger fleet. It's funny to see people take shots at Tesla for doing the same. Of course they're going to be careful with the first customer deployment. No, someone isn't secretly controlling the car from outside. The AI model on the car is driving the car. Go test drive any Tesla and find out for yourself. It doesn't need help from anyone, it can see and react to things before you do.

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 🧠.

Even my kids know that in a world full of Tesla Robotaxis, Waymo is dunzo. It’s really not that complicated. Waymo needs expensive LiDAR, radar, cameras, specialized hardware, detailed maps, and a massive amount of infrastructure just to operate in certain areas. Tesla’s approach is completely different. Cameras are cheap. Tesla can mass-produce vehicles at a scale Waymo can’t come close to, use the same AI system across millions of cars, collect massive amounts of real-world driving data, and improve the entire fleet through software updates. That’s where the economics become almost impossible to compete with. The cheaper you can build the car, the cheaper you can operate it, and the more vehicles you can put on the road, the cheaper you can eventually make every ride. Waymo might prove Robotaxis can work. Tesla’s goal is to make them cheap enough and build enough of them to be everywhere. That’s the difference people still don’t understand. This isn’t just about who has the better Robotaxi today. It’s about who can build millions of them, drive down the cost per mile, and scale across the world. Even my kids understand the end game. Tesla Robotaxis are going to be everywhere. In the world where Tesla Robotaxis are flooded all around the world, it will very difficult for Waymo to survive.

Applied Intuition CEO Qasar Younis on the autonomous driving approaches being taken by Tesla and Waymo, and why both can succeed in the years to come: "Generally speaking, every single car company on the planet right now is working on a product that’s like a Tesla FSD product. Many companies are working on versions of that, that would become fully autonomous within a cheap sensor suite." "So the fundamental difference, just to simplify the Tesla approach versus the Waymo approach... the Waymo approach is lots of sensors and lots of compute, and maps, and the Tesla version is very few sensors, no high fidelity maps... and cheaper compute for a lack of a better word." "And the Tesla version of a product, this in the industry is called an L2++ product, is going to be available everywhere because it’s literally cheaper and it doesn’t require HD maps. The Waymo product functions better in a geographically constrained area." "So, fast forward five years, both of these types of technologies will be much more ubiquitous. L2++ and L4 will be much more ubiquitous, not only in the Bay Area or in parts of China, but really globally - there are companies working on this globally." "We’re at that moment for L2++ systems. Where people are willing to pay thousands of dollars for a semi-automated vehicle." "It will not be a long time — you’re already seeing this in China — where the downward pricing pressure for the autonomous product, for lack of a better word, will become close to free."

Many people see Waymo and think they’re ahead of everyone in the autonomous driving race. After all, they’re giving out over 100,000 paid robotaxi rides a week across cities like San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles with a fleet of 700 vehicles, and on the surface, it could seem like they’re dominating. However, each Waymo costs $100,000 due to the complex, expensive hardware that’s in use. And due to this, they’re losing money on every single ride. For Waymo, scaling this business up means higher costs, and I don’t think it’s a sustainable model, even if the company keeps pouring $ into it. Now, look at Tesla. With a fleet closing in on 7 million vehicles worldwide, Tesla is playing a different game. Instead of relying on bulky, expensive hardware, Tesla uses a much simpler, more cost-effective approach, just 8 or 9 cameras and a powerful AI neural net. This AI, constantly learning from millions of real-world miles, means Tesla’s software gets smarter every day and can be scaled across the globe without needing new hardware for every car. So, while Waymo might seem like it’s leading the charge today, in my eyes, Tesla is quietly preparing to take over the entire field. They’ve created the foundation for something far bigger and is why I believe the true leader in Robotaxis will be Tesla, and I can’t wait for everyone to see it unfold on 10/10!

TESLA OPENS ROBOTAXI APP WORLDWIDE AS DRIVERLESS ERA ACCELERATES Tesla has taken its next giant step toward a global autonomous future. The company expanded access to its Robotaxi app beyond North America, allowing users across Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, Macau, New Zealand, and Mexico to download the platform for the first time. Robotaxi, Tesla’s ride-hailing service powered by its Full Self-Driving technology, is already running pilot programs in Texas, California, and Arizona, with Miami, Houston, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Dallas next in line. The vehicles have already logged over 550,000 autonomous miles, most from the Bay Area and Austin, and now Tesla is aiming to prove it can scale the system globally. Tesla’s focus is twofold: rapid expansion and full autonomy. The company is working to remove in car safety monitors, using new in cabin data systems to support passengers remotely instead of relying on human supervisors. If successful, Tesla will unlock a new transportation model where rides summon themselves and cars earn income while their owners sleep. The age of human drivers is ending, and Tesla’s Robotaxi network is steering the world straight into it. Source: TESLARATI Tesla

Elon Musk: Tesla will be the Airbnb for cars. “My prediction is that probably by the end of next year, we'll have probably hundreds of thousands, if not over a million Teslas doing self-driving in the U.S. Unsupervised full self-driving where you do not need to pay attention. We'll have a model that is kind of like some combination of Uber and Airbnb. If you're a Tesla owner, you'll be able to add or subtract your car to the fleet. So, just like an Airbnb, you could rent out your spare bedroom or rent out your house when you're not using it. And the same thing will be available for Tesla owners. So it's a way for Tesla owners to earn revenue. Instead of having your car sit in the parking lot, your car could be earning money.” From: CNBC Interview with David Faber, May 20, 2025

Elon Musk: Tesla has no need to buy Uber. “There's no need [to buy Uber] because we have millions of cars that will be able to operate autonomously. And I should say that it's a combination of a Tesla-owned fleet and also enabling Tesla owners to be able to add or subtract their car to the fleet so that existing Tesla owners will be able to earn money by adding their car to the fleet for autonomous use. I think it's maybe possible for Tesla owners to make more in allowing the car to be added to the self-driving fleet then they cost them in the lease. And that's why I'd consider it sort of a business model that's similar to some combination of Airbnb and Uber. Just like Airbnb, you can rent out your spare bedroom or your house if you're not using it and make money on it.

NEWS: Tesla is officially testing FSD in The Boring Company's Vegas Loop tunnel system. “We’ve started to test,” Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority. No passengers have been in vehicles during the testing. In the future, the Boring Company will remove safety drivers from the front seat during testing, Hill said, but there is no telling when that will take place, as it will depend on when Tesla and the Boring Company can demonstrate to the LVCVA that it is safe to do so. Hill said that the vehicles are currently being tested in self-driving mode inside the tunnels, “experiencing the environment,” as “they find spots that are difficult for them.” The rock walls of the tunnels, Hill said, combined with the bright, colorful lights in the passageways create some “interesting but odd lighting” for Tesla’s self-driving system. The tunnels should make for a “much easier environment” for autonomous vehicles than the open roads of Austin, because in the tunnels, the Boring Company has complete control over what and who enters, Hill said - Fortune (video below is not on FSD)

NEWS: Tesla is officially testing FSD in The Boring Company's Vegas Loop tunnel system. “We’ve started to test,” Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority. No passengers have been in vehicles during the testing. In the future, the Boring Company will remove safety drivers from the front seat during testing, Hill said, but there is no telling when that will take place, as it will depend on when Tesla and the Boring Company can demonstrate to the LVCVA that it is safe to do so.

Longtime $TSLA bear Craig Irwin, from Roth Capital, who has frequently appeared on CNBC to speak negatively about Tesla, just raised his $TSLA price target by a whopping 347% to $380 (from $85). For years, he had called Tesla "egregiously overvalued." Now, he has a BUY rating on the stock. Here's what he said today about Tesla: "This quarter is probably the last quarter of relative weakness; Now he (Elon) has got a new pool of buyers. Conservatives that might not have looked at EVs quite as closely in the past that allow an acceleration of demand in the core U.S. market; I don't see very many negative catalysts. There are abundant positive catalysts. Bias is now to the upside. The market cap may be huge, but they are doing big things." On FSD he says: "Where I need to look at things a little differently than how I did previously is we look at the incremental solution for FSD and the incremental solutions for robtoaxis. The use of Lidar is not long term sustainable because of the cost. It's something that does need to come out of the (Waymo) vehicles over the long term. As I've talked to more of the engineers involved in these different projects, I've learned that there's often two or three teleoperation engineers. Basically human operators there to catch something that goes wrong. Tesla even started hiring teleoperation engineers last week. Tesla is not going to do any worse than Waymo. If they're more intently focused on an optical only solution, I think competing at the edge, some of this technology that's being brought to bring down the energy consumption for the computer is something that Tesla is going to be more adept at. I think they're a real contender in the long run." On Cyberacb he said: "We're going to see incremental progress and people are going to be able to have a tangible experience, and that's what I think drives value in the stock and drives enthusiasm to own the stock."
