Episode notes
Robotaxi Confidence And Near‑Term Rollout
- Tesla claims rising confidence in Robotaxi and plans to scale toward unsupervised full self-driving.
- They expect to deploy in 8–10 metro areas and remove in-car safety drivers in parts of Austin by year-end.
Reasoning And Closed‑Loop Simulation
- Adding 'reasoning' means vehicles will simulate actions that affect other road users.
- Tesla sees this closed‑loop simulation as a key step toward unsupervised full autonomy.
Upgrade HW3 To Access Newer FSD
- If you own a HW3 Tesla, consider upgrading to access newer FSD capabilities sooner.
- Tesla is allowing limited transfers of pre‑bought FSD to incentivize moves to HW4 hardware.
