@niccruzpatane Tesla should start showing more safety data that compares people that only use 2 eyes as sensors for driving against FSD’s cameras. Is this just a boundary drawn up by Waymo? Have they reached these requirements?

@elonmusk Is that an Optimus gen3 on the boom lift just above the right in your background?

@Rainmaker1973 voice conveys so much more than just text. But when you send a text message, it's the reader that intonate the message in their head. misunderstandings can happen.

@techNmak Generational wealth... I just don't know if I'll be around to enjoy it. Looking at the x-axis as time in years, I read this as be patient for 96 years and more before you get the satisfaction of compounding at a 10% rate, beating x^2.

@learnings01 so practical and easy to do.

Good analysis of rent control

@TansuYegen I wish this could be implemented in Ontario. save us from construction season @dougford

I use LIDAR to take interior room measurements. Point clouds can tell me the spot distances for every point. Now imagine snow falling onto a LIDAR. It would go nuts giving you points every snow flake. Add to that having to calculate your movement and the movement of all the snow. 🤯 ... after enough money is thrown at this problem, I'm sure it will get reasoned out eventually.

@teslaownersSV If you look at the video showing the rear camera view, there is clearly another collision after the Tesla squeezes beside the flipped vehicle. Looks like it’s Chinese on the screen.

amazing move to get cybercab out into the public soon as opposed to depending on the speed of government.

🚨 TESLA - BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Tesla Unveils “AirWrap™” for Cybercab:
“Why Just Protect the Inside When You Can Cushion the Outside?”

In a surprise announcement this morning, Tesla revealed that its upcoming Cybercab will feature a radical new safety innovation: airbags mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

The AirWrap™ design flips decades of automotive safety engineering on its head - literally cushioning the world instead of the passengers.

“We’re Expanding the Definition of Safety”

Elon Musk explained the reasoning behind the move: “Historically, airbags have been selfish. They only protect the people inside the car. At Tesla, we asked - what if we protected everyone else too? Buildings, pedestrians, birds, shopping carts… even other cars. We tried to protect squirrels, but only a Neuralink implant will change their crazy behavior.”

Musk went on to describe the system as “a giant, intelligent marshmallow” that deploys milliseconds before impact.

The airbags reportedly wrap around the vehicle in segments, forming what Tesla calls a “dynamic impact cocoon.”

Lars Moravy stated: “In early testing, we saw a 94.2% reduction in damage to… everything. Not just the car but literally everything that comes in contact with it.”

Industry experts are… processing the news.

Apple is reportedly considering a lawsuit over the name: AirWrap™ with a company representative stating: "We feel at Apple that we own the word "air" at this point, especially since our innovation pipeline is full of it."

Insurance industry executives are in emergency closed door meetings.

Meanwhile, Tesla fans have already taken to social media, calling it:

“The future of safety”
“Peak first-principles thinking”
“Obviously inevitable in hindsight”

Musk also stated: “In the future, accidents won’t feel like accidents. They’ll feel like… mild inconveniences. Possibly even enjoyable. The best accident is not no accident, but a fun one!”

@cooltechtipz This is a syphon.

@alojoh I like your balanced approach for up and down side.

The AI backlash is here.

This post has a million views.

People hate technology.

They hate innovation.

They see that it is coming for their jobs.

Coming for their way of life.

Innovation is asking them to do more work. To spend nights and weekends learning about AI and building new things.

They hate that. And I've seen it my entire career as people tell me over and over again that they don't like what I'm pitching them.

How many have gone to an Apple store and had a demo of the Vision Pro? Even in Silicon Valley I keep finding smart people who refuse. And my consumer research outside the valley shows far far greater resistance.

There are couple other such posts this morning going viral:

@zachweinberg: https://t.co/U3YDp3Qn08

@tszzl: https://t.co/u9RInhe6uv

Here's the real problem.

Let's say you burn down Silicon Valley.

The Chinese are coming and coming with cars that will eviscerate the rest of the auto industry. Americans can't see that because we tax the heck out of them and keep them from selling here.

And soon they are coming with robots. Americans can't see that because they aren't like me meeting with robot pioneers here and in China. Or watching the robot community here on X (or understand what they are talking about with their highly technical talks about world models and reinforcement learning.

And they are coming with AI models. Most Americans are sticking their heads in the sand and ignoring what's going on on @huggingface and here on X. I talk to entrepreneurs around the world who keep telling me they are building businesses on Chinese models because they are cheaper and better.

And they are coming with entertainment businesses that will eviscerate Hollywood. Most Americans see AI artists as anti human. The Chinese don't.

The only way out of this +is+ innovation. That's where any new jobs are gonna be.

So go ahead and burn down Silicon Valley and San Francisco.

That won't save your job and will doom America to being a poor country subservient to the Chinese.

And, yes, we need to do a better job of explaining the role of innovation.

But that job is bigger than what I can do.

Why?

Because people hate innovation and want to stick their heads in the sand, and even, roll back innovation, my posts aren't getting any reach here on X outside of a small group of innovation supporters.

Well, I'll keep supporting the innovators. I made lists of almost all of them, 37,000 in AI alone, and 7,600 AI companies: https://t.co/9eRY65x3IQ

But that isn't nearly enough. The entire industry needs to do a better job of talking to everyday people and getting them to see a better world is possible.

For now all they hear is "you are taking my job."

And they aren't wrong about that either. Which makes this all so difficult to get people onto the side of innovation.

@CernBasher Thanks for sharing this. Happy to know SBA is in support and so articulately explains why.

@AmericaPapaBear be careful what you say in Canada then, hate speech laws are stricter here... Canadian's are friendlier...

@AIDRIVR I'd like to see what FSD does after a few times. would it know? does it have the memory of the previous times?

@herbertong Fan related to heat pumps is my guess due to the wobble.
