I’ll be honest: when the Waymo news dropped yesterday, my X feed exploded like it was 2016 Autopilot all over again. People love a good rivalry, especially when it involves autonomy, highways, and the question everyone asks in private: Is Tesla actually still in the lead? So let’s talk about it. Because what Waymo just pulled off is impressive, historic even — but it’s not the whole picture. And if you look at the direction of travel (not the daily noise), the Tesla robotaxi

A Different Kind of Shareholder Meeting If you’ve ever been to a Tesla event, you know it’s not your typical corporate affair.

Elon Musk framed the day around a single idea: “Sustainable Abundance.” Not just cars or robots or AI, but an entire ecosystem built to multiply human capability while cutting waste, labor, and inefficiency.

When drone operator Joe Tegtmeyer  said, “The ChatGPT moment for FSD is when the car says, ‘Yeah, you can sleep,’”  it distilled Tesla’s pursuit of autonomy into a single, visceral image. Because that moment — when a driver stops supervising — marks more than technical success. It’s when human trust meets artificial intelligence. What Is the “ChatGPT Moment” for Tesla FSD? The phrase describes the point where Full Self-Driving (FSD)  transitions from being impressive to indis

Let’s cut straight to it. Tesla missed on profit, pushed hard on autonomy, and Elon swung for control. If you’re an investor or builder, the direction of travel is clear: driver-out robotaxis, a unified AI chip strategy, and Optimus as the endgame. Timelines? Aggressive, as always. But the roadmap is getting more specific—and more expensive (Reuters). “Many times safer than humans”—and v14.6 gets in-car reasoning Musk doubled down: unsupervised FSD will be “many times safer”
