Looks like Tesla is Robotaxi service testing in New Orleans, Louisiana. A fleet of Model Ys with rear camera washers, side camera washers and Texas manufacturer license plates have been spotted in the city.

@EmmetPeppers Consumer sales of the Cybercab. It will allow for a smoother production ramp as they get regulatory approval for the FSD network.

Now that Fable 5 is ready to build (again), we've reset everyone's 5-hour and weekly rate limits.

ANTHROPIC 🔥: Export Controls might be lifted from Claude Fable 5 as early as today, according to Politico.

Lifted for US users? Monitoring 👀

@ArcticDodger @herbertong Consumer sales of the Robotaxi will be the pressure valve that will pad the demand as they go state by state with regulatory approval for full autonomy. Remember, Tesla has confirmed that consumers will be able to buy the Cybercab directly.

FSD v14 Lite is now rolling out to AI3 early-access customers. Based on the feedback, will rollout to more customers over the next few weeks.

This build distills the driving behavior from AI4’s v14 series into both the camera and compute config of AI3. It includes destination options and speed profiles on city roads, but more importantly significantly improved safety.

We hope you’ll enjoy it, once the build ships wide.

Some additional @Tesla Cybercab info from the official documents:

• Cybercab includes an Active Hood that raises during certain pedestrian impacts to reduce injuries.
• Cybercab has pressurized air canisters and cameras washers.
• If a Cybercab is in the roadway or in a dangerous position, first responders can manually move the vehicle using on-board vehicle controls.
• At least 10 airbags: Front airbags, Knee airbags, Inner seat-mounted side airbags, Outer seat-mounted side airbags and Curtain airbags.
• The interior door handles of Cybercab have two detents, with the second detent acting as the emergency mechanical release.
• Cybercab window switches are situated underneath the touchscreen.
• Cybercab uses both a 400V high-voltage battery and a 48V low-voltage battery.
• Cybercab Robotaxi is equipped with Tesla’s SAE Level 4 automated driving system: "When in Autonomous Mode, the vehicle is designed to be capable of performing the entire dynamic driving task without any input from a human driver."
• Opening a door or unbuckling a passenger's seat belt automatically causes the Robotaxi to disengage and park.
• The battery pack coolant is orange in color.
• There are two First Responder Loops for redundancy - one under the hood and one behind the passenger-side B-pillar.
• The charge port is centered below the trunk instead of on the rear fender (we knew this already)
• Cybercab has a manual emergency charge cable release hidden behind the rear wheel liner.
• The vehicle has exterior microphones and speakers for two-way communication with Tesla Robotaxi Support.
• While waiting for a new ride booking, Cybercab Robotaxi roams its area of operation or proceeds to a charging station or parking lot.
• If the Battery charge level is too low to conduct another ride, Cybercab Robotaxi proceeds to a charging station before accepting new ride bookings.
• If Cybercab Robotaxi experiences connectivity or hardware issues, the hazard lights flash rapidly and the vehicle attempts to pull over at the nearest safe stopping location.
• Cybercab Robotaxi is also designed to respond to clearly visible hand signals from first responders and can follow pathways designated by cones.

Tesla: "The Cybercab Robotaxi operational design domain includes all public roadways, such as freeways, highways, city streets, and rural roads, as well as private roadways and service stations, such as parking lots, charging stations, car washes, and parking garages. Cybercab Robotaxi is also capable of navigating pick- up and drop-off zones to initiate or complete trips.

Cybercab Robotaxi can operate autonomously at all times of day and night, and under light and moderate precipitation such as rain, fog, and snow.

Cybercab Robotaxi does not accept new rides when extreme weather conditions are expected. If unexpectedly caught by extreme weather conditions, Cybercab Robotaxi is designed to pull over at the nearestsafe stopping location and park. Tesla Robotaxi Support is then notified and can recover the vehicle and/or passengers."

Quiet before the Cybercab storm for Tesla @robotaxi

@elonmusk When’s the next Tesla Event? Is the big annual shareholder meeting party going to happen also? Vegas?!

[Dillon Loomis @DillonLoomis]

Hey @nytimes - you scum bags are going to correct your headline and issue an apology to Tesla for rushing out inaccurate information, correct? $TSLA

[Ashok Elluswamy @aelluswamy]

This blatantly irresponsible reporting does more harm to people than they realize.

Using Tesla self-driving is far safer than manual driving, and this was measured over 10B miles.

Planting such FUD in the minds of general public, who might not know the all the facts, might prevent them from using this technology that makes them safer.

BREAKING: Tesla robotaxi network to launch in Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Las Vegas in the next 9 days

Going to be an epic expansion 🚀🚀🚀

Go @elon go!!

@xdNiBoR Similar how they have energy storage units, but for Ai compute! Nice

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Looks like Tesla has received the necessary permits to start ride-hailing service at San Francisco International Airport.
