I have been using FSD for the past 15 months at 98%. Gently tapping on the brakes disengage FSD. Pressing on the accelerator pedal while FSD is engaged, trigger a warning on the screen that the car will not "brake" when the accelerator is pressed. The investigation will likely show the cause of the accident to be due to human error. What I find impressive is the fact that the driver did not die on impact! As per Tesla chief of AI post on X, the driver's foot was on the accelerator upon impact and the final speed was recorded at 73 mph in a residential area! This is not normal behavior.
This is why smart people rarely build businesses
Jensen Huang stood in front of a room of Stanford graduates and told them he hopes they suffer.
He wasn't being cruel. He was being precise.
His argument: people with very high expectations have very low resilience. And resilience, not intelligence, is what decides who actually makes it. A Stanford grad has spent their whole life as the smartest person in the room. They've rarely been tested by real failure. So when something finally breaks, they break with it.
Then he said the line every founder should sit with: "Greatness is not intelligence. Greatness comes from character. And character isn't formed out of smart people, it's formed out of people who suffered."
He would know. At nine, Huang was scrubbing toilets at a Kentucky boarding school his family hadn't realized was a reform school. As a teenager he bussed tables at Denny's. In 1993 he started NVIDIA in a Denny's booth, and nearly lost it more than once in the years that followed. The character was built decades before the valuation showed up.
This is why he uses the words "pain and suffering" inside NVIDIA with what he calls great glee. He isn't trying to shield his best people from the hard part. He's trying to give it to them on purpose.
Talent gets you into the room. The people who stay are the ones who were broken once and learned they could rebuild.
Billionaire Rick Caruso can’t believe what Elon Musk has created with SpaceX. He’s toured the facility and “It’s beyond exceptional”
He says Elon Musk has put together a company that’s “best in class” and is so important to our country
“I just left touring SpaceX down in El Segundo, and I know we all see the SpaceX rockets flying from time to time, and some of us use Starlink at our homes or whatnot. I gotta tell you, the technology that's going on down there, the only thing I can say describe it, because I don't have the subject matter expertise to describe what's going on inside those buildings, inside of SpaceX, is beyond exceptional. It's exceptionalism.
And what really hit me as I was walking through it is how proud I am that we have an American company that is dominating the leadership in space. What they're doing in terms of their satellites, in terms of their technology, of the payloads they're bringing, how they are looking forward in doing data centers in space to reduce the impact on energy and heat, it's amazing to watch.
There's about 20,000 people that work for SpaceX. About 8,000 are here in Southern California, down in El Segundo. And it also hits me that this is not a company that we want to lose in the state of California, or anywhere near losing people in the vicinity of Los Angeles.
Elon has put together a company that is best in class. There is no close second to what Elon Musk and his team are doing down there — and to own that leadership position in the world is something really important for our country. So congratulations to Elon. I really appreciated the tour of going through and seeing what was happening.
And congratulations to everybody that's working down there that are putting together the future for the United States and the world and how we communicate, how we move forward”
Elon Musk’s SpaceX was only founded in 2002 and they are years ahead of all competitors. They are 10 years ahead of competitors with reusable rockets and are completing more launches than the rest of the world combined
There is quite literally not even a remotely close second competitor
Thank you for sharing this. I believe the @Tesla teamt should have a dedicated marketing effort to spread this informative video across the globe asap.
People need to know that their Grandma may want to live longer simply for the joy of experiencing the awesomeness of autonomous driving. This will help greatly to remove political barriers for approval of autonomous vehicle at a national level.
@CernBasher I think due to restriction for parking in residential areas, it will likely be two-three per individuals/families and anything above that will require a small business structure for fleet management.
I agree with your assumptions and believe that allowing individuals/families, current Lyft/Uber/Taxi drivers to have a seat at the table early (2026-2028) and allow fleet owners and institutional investors (10+ cybercabs) after 2029 will make autonomy a more formidable political force that would neutralize the negative energy on the left like in the city of Davis, CA.
