Bosch funded European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) wrote an open letter to the EU Commission in order to try to stop Tesla FSD wide approval.
Turns out Bosch is losing customers. It makes way more sense now. Follow the money.
Volkswagen investments that amounted to nothing.
❌€1.4 billion - NorthVolt (NorthVolt went bankrupt in 2025)
❌$3.5 billion - Argo AI (Autonomous Driving part of a joint effort with Ford)
❌€14 billion - CARIAD (Software Division)
❌€1.5 - Bosch on self-driving tech
And now they gonna beat Tesla on self-driving....
⚡️The worker has become the liquidity layer for capital.
Labor does the work, absorbs the schedule, carries the stress, pays the tax immediately, rents the shelter, buys the insurance, services the debt, and gets told the economy is healthy because the asset owners are richer.
That is the American machine now.
The worker’s share shrinking to a record low means the economy is no longer distributing productivity through wages.
It is routing productivity through ownership. The surplus goes to equity, platforms, margins, buybacks, automation, IP, real estate, executive comp, and capital gains. Labor gets a paycheck that arrives pre-taxed and leaves through rent, food, insurance, childcare, healthcare, transportation, and interest.
This is why people feel insane. The official economy can be “strong” while the worker feels poorer. Both can be true because GDP and asset prices can rise while the labor claim on income collapses.
The deeper implication is savage: the middle class was a temporary arrangement built on a high labor share, cheap housing, cheap energy, rising wages, domestic industrial strength, and broad access to asset ownership. That arrangement is being dismantled.
AI accelerates the break.
Capital now has a direct path to output without proportional labor. The next productivity wave will not automatically create a new broad middle class. It will flow first to whoever owns the models, chips, power contracts, data centers, workflows, distribution, customer relationships, and balance sheets. Workers who only sell time get repriced downward. Workers who own systems or command machines gain leverage.
That is the split.
The owner uses AI to multiply capital.
The worker uses AI to keep up with rising expectations.
One side captures surplus.
The other side avoids replacement.
That is why “get a good job” is becoming an obsolete life strategy by itself. A job is no longer the bridge to ownership unless the cash flow gets converted aggressively into assets, equity, audience, business ownership, or scarce claims. Salary without ownership becomes a polished treadmill.
The political consequence is already loading. When labor receives the smallest share on record, people eventually stop defending the system that extracts from them. Some will blame immigrants. Some will blame billionaires. Some will blame government. Some will blame capitalism. Some will blame elites. The deeper cause is the same: the worker no longer believes participation produces a fair claim on the upside.
That is where social trust dies.
America is becoming an ownership caste system with consumer branding layered on top. The people who own productive assets compound. The people who sell labor rent access to the life they thought work would buy.
The only escape is ownership.
Not vibes.
Not credentials.
Not loyalty.
Not hard work alone.
Ownership.
If you mash your foot on the accelerator pedal, the car will accelerate, whether you're driving a Tesla or any other car brand. In this case, the driver kept the accelerator pressed even after the crash.
It's very clear that the issue isn't Tesla or FSD - it's human drivers. Humans are not good drivers, but robots are, as evidenced by the safety data from both Tesla and Waymo.
The solution is obvious: If you take away the steering wheel and pedals and let the robots drive, crashes caused by human error - like driving into a house after overriding the system - simply won't happen.
There has never been a documented case of a robotaxi driving itself into a house, ever.
Angra do Heroísmo. The only #UNESCO World Heritage city in the entire archipelago. Cobbled streets, painted facades, real history. #Terceira Porto Moniz, Praia da Vitória etc. Whale watching. June/August is prime. The #Azores are one of the best places on the planet for it.
