Every one of these dots is an actual crash from the fleet. Real world speeds, collisions, and people. Not just the regulatory test cases.
The richness of this data is what enabled the result. With simulation we can replay the crashes and measure the forces on the human body model.
Then sweep through restraint deployment times to find that deploying earlier gives the time for the bag to be inflated optimally and seat belt pretension before the occupant has moved out of position.
But it takes time for crash accelerometers to be certain. Lowering that time threshold risks unwanted deployments.
Using vision gives the vehicle confidence to reduce that timing. The camera sees the impending impact and together with the sensors tell the restraint controller to reduce the filter and act sooner.
The Y Axis shift in Predicted Injury Severity is based on sensors in the human body models from rerunning the crash simulations with the faster detection threshold.
Such a reduction in injury severity across the spectrum is unheard of, let alone doing this via an update over the air.
I'm extremely proud of the analysis team's work and dedication. Going above and beyond to ask "we have the safest car on the road but can we make it even safer?" And then working with the vision team to build the predictions needed to make it happen. Rigorously tested in simulation and then in physical crash testing. Now deployed and improving lives.
I watch the video on loop and just imagine each dot, a person.
History made. We won ten out of ten seats, with overwhelming majorities in every single one.
Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain.
A very special day.
Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket
De toekomst van mobiliteit is aangebroken
FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & will begin rolling out in the country shortly!
Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways
No other vehicle can do this.
We're excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon
TERAFAB: the next step to becoming a galactic civilization
Together with @SpaceX & @xAI, we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever (1TW/year) – combining logic, memory & advanced packaging under one roof.
To harness as much power as possible from the Sun, we need to send 100 million tons of solar capture into space – per year.
This requires massive scale.
– Capability to launch millions of tons of mass into orbit
– Solar-powered AI satellites
– Millions of @Tesla_Optimus robots to help build it out
All of these need chips: 100-200GW of chips for Optimus alone, plus terawatts for solar-powered AI satellites.
That's more than all the chip manufacturers in the world combined can provide today, or even by 2030 (based on projected production growth).
We're building TERAFAB to close the gap between today’s chip production & the future's demand – a future among the stars

Together with RDW, we have officially completed the final vehicle testing phase for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and have submitted all documentation required for the UN R-171 approval + Article 39 exemptions. The RDW team is now reviewing the documentation and test results package internally. They have communicated the expected approval for Netherlands date of 4/10, shifting from 3/20 previously and we look forward to successful completion of this cooperation.
Following the Netherlands’ approval, European countries will be able to recognize this approval nationally. We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer.
Over the past 18 months, this approval has involved a series of intense documentation, development, testing, research & audits. Including but certainly not limited to:
– 1,600,000+ km of FSD (Supervised) testing on EU roads
– 13,000+ customer sales ride-alongs
– 4,500+ track test scenario executions
– Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400+ compliance requirements
– Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results
We're extremely proud of the work conducted with the RDW team up until this point.
We very much look forward to the approval in April, and sharing FSD (Supervised) with our patient EU customers!
Awesome! 🔥
A British Expat Build a Free Global @Starlink Flight Tracker after frustrating in-flight WiFi Experiences.
https://t.co/Ykm2Hvh9XY provides real-time predictions for Starlink WiFi availability across 202 airlines and thousands of routes, solving travelers’ frustration with inconsistent in-flight internet quality.
“I was tired of boarding flights hoping for decent internet and getting disappointed,” said Raeburn. “Airlines announce Starlink partnerships but never tell you which specific planes actually have the equipment installed. You could book the same route on the same airline and get completely different WiFi experiences.”
The tracker provides real-time predictions by cross-referencing flight tracking data with known Starlink-equipped aircraft.
Users can search by flight number or airline to receive confidence scores ranging from “Confirmed” to “Unlikely” for Starlink availability.
