@BTA_labs This boggles my mind too. On a separate topic I am pretty sure however that there will be a cohort of users that would not be able to distinct between SpaceXAI and OpenAI, and will download Grok Bot.
Perhaps Mercedes did not cancel the Nvidia partnership , but just contracted another partner (Wayve) for the L2++ (as some call it). Looks like they have once partner for US market (NVidia) , one for Europe (Wayve) and one for China (Momenta). Hoping that at least one chick will hatch form all these "eggs" (partnerships)

@TheEVuniverse Where is the real Verne? The factory that was supposed to build the fancy 2 seater we saw two years ago was supposed to be ready by now. I thought Mate Rimac promises were better than Elon Musk's.
I am arguing (mostly in my head) the same points. Somehow the whole autonomy technology stack (unboxed manifacturing, no rare earths drive units , battery tech and efficiency, numerous software stacks , FSD hardware/software, chip designs, years of engineering grind and on and on) is "hanging" on the single thread "seling to end customer" . As the saying goes: Sell to customer or it didn't happen.
@lysdahllars@wholemars You are right he said that and somehow this only claim (to sell to end customer) diminishes : a whole ne manufacturing proces(es), whole hardware and software FSD stack, new drive units, batteries, years of engineering grinding and on and on. ..but Tesla didn't sell to customer
Tesla has just open-sourced one of the key pieces of evidence used to support the Netherlands approval of FSD (Supervised) to try and push for EU-wide approval, saying that its safety benefit remains "locked behind bureaucracy."
Some highlights:
• Tesla conducted 230,000+ structured scenario tests across 6 European cities, achieving a 99%+ overall pass rate with zero safety-critical events.
• In Europe, Tesla accumulated 793,000+ FSD engineering miles across 8 countries with zero major or minor collisions attributed to FSD performance.
• Tesla reports zero major or minor collisions attributed to FSD performance across the European engineering-fleet validation cited in its safety case.
• Only 2.5% of FSD lane changes had a Driver Monitoring System warning during the preceding seven seconds.
• Only 0.6% of FSD lane changes had an escalation/driver-response request in the preceding seven seconds.
• In Tesla's European engineering fleet, FSD showed 77–97% lower AEB activation rates, depending on road class.
• Tesla analyzed nearly 2 billion FSD miles in North America in 2025, including 700+ million non-highway miles.
• FSD had 40–69% fewer major collisions than manually driven Teslas with active safety features, depending on road type.
• FSD had 48–59% fewer minor collisions than manually driven Teslas with active safety features.
• Compared with older Teslas without active safety features, FSD had 71–90% fewer major collisions.
• FSD had 74–84% fewer Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) events, suggesting substantially fewer imminent-collision situations.
• FSD had 83–95% fewer harsh acceleration/braking events and 55–75% fewer high lateral-acceleration events than manual driving.
• During lane changes, FSD had 99% fewer minor collisions on highways and 95% fewer on non-highway roads than manual driving with active safety features.
• FSD drivers experienced 67% fewer highway fatigue events than manual drivers.
• European testing achieved 98.9% pass rates at roundabouts, 99.2% at intersections, 99.7% at crosswalks, and 99.9% when yielding to cyclists.
Tesla added that this exact dashboard was shared with all EU Member States in April 2026, shortly after RDW’s approval, and all data presented is from before that date.
Tesla: "European countries recorded 19,400 road deaths in 2025. That's around 53 deaths/day, with the vast majority of these crashes attributed to human error. These deaths are largely preventable with technology we have today. FSD Supervised is already saving lives where it’s approved – yet in much of Europe, that safety benefit remains locked behind bureaucracy."

@mikepat711 Every time I watch footage of bicycle races I wonder why they force them (the cyclists) to breathe the exhaust fumes of the accompanying bikes/cars and not replace them with electric ones.
As much as I want to believe Jason's words I am very cautious with his takes on technical/technology topics and trends. He has been very wrong and naive (not in a bad way) in his statements about Uber's strategy on AVs and I can not not have this in mind when listening to him about Optimus.
