I just drove a Tesla Robotaxi in a Model Y — and it was completely unsupervised. No hands, no supervision, just pure autonomy.

Tesla is now pushing the boundaries with unsupervised FSD testing on public roads, and the Cybercab era is coming faster than most people realize.

In this video, I take you along for a real ride through city streets, sharing what it actually feels like when the car drives itself flawlessly. From smooth navigation to handling complex intersections, this is the future of transportation happening right now. (@BeardedTesla @JoshWest247)

The world is about to change. Robotaxis will reshape cities, reduce accidents, cut transportation costs, and give millions of people new freedom. This isn’t sci-fi anymore — it’s here.

Watch until the end for my honest thoughts on what this means for Tesla, the industry, and everyday life.Drop a like if you’re excited for the autonomous future!

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

Being at the launch of Cybercab two years ago was magic.

A decade from now there will be millions of these things rolling around the world.

The war over autonomous vehicles is on, as everyone in San Francisco knows.

But if you add up everyone who has been in ANY autonomous vehicle, whether from Waymo, any of the Chinese, the NVIDIA, any Tesla, it is only a few million people out of eight billion.

When I first saw autonomous vehicles at Stanford University about 20 years ago they were so crappy I thought I'd never be alive to see them.

I have the first video of the first Waymo on the freeway, and I've been blessed to have been able to watch the development of these up close (got the first ride in Mercedes' AI car, for instance).

So many engineers spent so many hours developing them, many going down bad paths. Which happens with innovation.

They will save millions of lives.

Ford's head of safety told me that what kills people in a head-on wreck is the steering wheel.

Now we can see a path to getting rid of the steering wheel totally.

Congrats to Tesla and @elonmusk for getting here.

Still a lot of work to go and many fights with many communities who will try to ban these to protect jobs.

I'm very bullish on Cybercab and will buy one if sold to private citizens, as expected.

Why?

I never touch the steering wheel in my vehicles already and this will be the lowest cost vehicle with the most safety.

And a great big screen and a great sound system to watch whatever I want. When I met the engineers at the launch they said they made many decisions to make it quieter inside, so we can do things like listen to music, video calls, or watch the World Cup.

This vehicle is the iPhone moment of autonomous vehicles.

One I've been lucky enough to survive the 20 years it took to see.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has reportedly made a strong public statement that, according to the claim, signals a dramatic shift in Beijing's position toward Russia.

> "China no longer considers it possible to support Russia in its aggressive war against Ukraine. We believe Russia's actions are counterproductive and violate the principles of international law. We call on Russia to immediately withdraw its troops from the territory of Ukraine."

But that's not all. According to sources allegedly close to the Chinese leadership, Beijing has gone even further. The claim says China is demanding major territorial concessions from Russia in the Far East, including parts of Siberia.

The narrative continues that China, which for years has served as Russia's main economic and political backer, has now officially turned away from Moscow. Beijing reportedly no longer wants to bear the enormous costs of Putin's war. The conflict has significantly harmed China's economy, trade, and international reputation. According to the claim, Xi now sees Russia as losing the war and is seeking to secure an outcome that best serves China's own interests.

[TESLARATI @Teslarati]

Not Honda.
Not Toyota.
Not Chevy.
Not Ford.
Not BMW.
Not Lucid.
Not Rivian.
Not VW.

Nobody is making their cars THIS much better after years of being on the road.

ONLY Tesla.

[Alex @alex_avoigt]

Remember all the Tesla haters and doubters claiming FSD will never work on HW3 and Elon just makes empty promises again?! 😂

They are all very silent right now.

[Lukas Mendez Duus @DuusLukas]

The fact that Tesla can push FSD 14 Lite to 8-year-old cars and make them better than new competitor vehicles is next-level shit.
Hardware longevity + constant improvement is unmatched.

[Zack @BLKMDL3]

Great FSD v14 lite drive.

Zero interventions from Century City to the Pacific Palisades.

Such smooth driving, it feels like it has the DNA of v14 on AI4. Lane changes are buttery smooth, and acceleration/braking inputs are very refined.

[Tesla AI @Tesla_AI]

v14 Lite Release Notes:

– Distilled the intelligence from HW4 V14 into HW3. This allows HW3 to directly learn how to handle scenarios using HW4 V14 as a guide. This process unlocks the improvements that have been made to HW4 including Reinforcement Learning (RL) and offline models for HW3.

– Improved both proactive and reactive responsiveness across a wide variety of categories including navigation handling, merges and forks, pedestrian interactions, traffic lights, and vehicle cut-in scenarios.

– Improved general comfort in nominal scenarios through fewer false slowdowns, smoother steering and more consistent lane centering.

– Introduced parking, unparking, and reversing capabilities.

– Added Arrival Options for you to select where FSD should park: in a Parking Lot, on the Street, in a Driveway, or at the Curbside.

– Speed Profiles are now available at all times, to further customize driving style preference.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Nice work by the @Tesla_AI team!

The AI3 computer only has ~15% of the effective memory bandwidth of AI4, so this was a tough challenge.

[Alex @alex_avoigt]

And all of them failed.

It took Putin a few years, but now he has succeeded.

Tesla FSD v14 Lite is rolling out to customers with our AI3 hardware

CATHIE WOOD: ROBOTAXI IS ELON'S GIFT TO PATIENT TESLA SHAREHOLDERS

- Autonomous taxi market scales from $1B today to $10T in 5-10 years
- Robotaxi flips Tesla's margins from 16% to 80-90%
- Tesla's costs will be 50% lower than Waymo's by 2030

[Pekka Toveri @PToveri]

Turhaa puhetta. Putin ei uskalla iskeä Euroopassa oleviin tehtaisiin, koska Venäjä ei kestäisi lännen vastaiskua.
Ja taktisen ydinaseen käyttö ei toisi ratkaisua, mutta olisi Putinin hallinnon loppu.

VW plans to end its self-driving partnership with auto supplier Bosch ​as part of a wider push to cut costs and ‌after VW determined the technology was not competitive with other self-driving systems such as @Tesla's FSD.

This follows a report that VW plans to cut 100,000 jobs and close up to four factories in Germany.

[Reggie Overton @reggieoverton]

FSD v14.3.4 ignored the traffic signal and obeyed the traffic cop hand gesture. Great job!

-Putin: "We did not initiate hostilities by launching the special military operation"

Putin is once again trying to justify Russian aggression.This operation was not an act of self-defense; it was the Russians who crossed the border and invaded Ukraine!
