  2. "The research team calculated that if 1 billion AVs drove for just one hour each per day, using 840 watts of power to run autonomy—well below today’s levels—they would use as much energy as the world’s data centers at the time (before the insane AI data center boom really took hold)..." ☠️

  3. Tesla "Full Self Driving" (FSD) reeks of being an endless quagmire! Some reports are calling FSD snake oil.

    In 2019, Tesla started installing Hardware 3 (HW3) in its cars, which was claimed would support “Full Self-Driving” (FSD).

    Now., Tesla admits HW3 does not have the capability to achieve unsupervised FSD. Tesla still owes millions of owners with the hardware upgrades to convert all HW3 cars to HW4 — yes, lawsuits are flying around bigly. futurism.com/advanced-transpor #Tesla #FSD #FullSelfDriving #AutonomousDriving #AutonomousVehicles #EV #ElectricVehicles

  4. The NTSB investigated two fatal 2024 crashes involving vehicles using Ford Motor Company’s hands-free partial automation system, BlueCruise, failed to stop for stationary vehicles.

    The NTSB concluded that the drivers’ over reliance on the automated system contributed to both crashes. The driver monitoring systems were also found to be ineffective at detecting driver distraction or disengagement.

    The NTSB called out that there are no federal requirements for these systems to record data during crashes, which often means that manufacturers lack information to comply with NHTSA’s standing general order requiring them to report crashes involving this technology.

  9. Tesla's FSD system is facing a growing list of investigations.

    NHTSA has escalated its latest investigation to an Engineering Analysis covering an estimated 3,203,754 vehicles — the step that typically precedes a recall. There are now three concurrent NHTSA investigations into FSD, covering visibility failures, traffic violations, and crash reporting gaps.

    FSD has engaged in what the agency calls "driving maneuvers that constitute traffic safety violations." The CORE PROBLEM = FSD can’t tell when it’s BLIND!

    NHTSA states that in the crashes it reviewed, the system “did not detect common roadway conditions that impaired camera visibility and/or provide alerts when camera performance had deteriorated until immediately before the crash occurred.”

    The conditions involved are not exotic edge cases and include sun glare, fog, and airborne dust — things any driver encounters regularly. electrek.co/2026/03/19/nhtsa-u #Tesla #FSD #AutonomousDriving #NHTSA #Recall #FullSelfDriving #Safety #HighwaySafety #Car_Crashes

  19. Let's open a new can of hyperbole shall we! Oh, wait we've seen this before.

    Tesla claims yet again that Robotaxi's are now operating without human “safety monitors" in the car in Austin TX. Apparently the human supervisors are now in a separate car that shadows the Robotaxi. And riders are reporting there are no “unsupervised” rides operating. Social media commentators slammed this is another marketing stunt. futurism.com/advanced-transpor #Tesla #RoboTaxi #AutonomousDriving #FSD #Hyperbole #Austin

  20. Uber’s Luxury Era 6-Passenger Lucid Robotaxis Are Coming to the Bay Area!

    The robotaxi industry just got a major luxury upgrade. At CES 2026, Uber, Lucid, and Nuro unveiled the "production-intent" design of their autonomous Lucid Gravity SUV. Combining Nuro’s Level 4 AI with Lucid’s 450-mile-range electric platform, this 6-passenger lounge on wheels is designed for premium, group travel.

  21. L3 autonomous cars coming to street near you soon - in China!

    China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) announced that Changan Automobile and BAIC were given the go-ahead to build L3 autonomous electric vehicles (EVs) that would allow drivers to be hands off in some circumstances.

    The cars, both pure EVs, will be allowed to navigate streets and highways only in designated areas. With L3 drivers are required to be fully alert to ensure that they can intervene under any circumstances. For reference, L5, or fully autonomous driving, means a vehicle does not need human intervention under any circumstances. scmp.com/business/china-busine

  26. Seems that Elon Musk is not the first mover in some technologies. Alphabet's Waymo is now offering fully autonomous rides 24/7 with Waymo One in select areas of Los Angeles.

    The robotaxis will cover 80 square miles of Los Angeles County - mainly in Chinatown, Hollywood, Marina del Rey, Mar Vista, Playa Vista and Westwood.

    Waymo’s taxis will NOT be traveling on highways and will not deliver passengers to LAX. waymo.com/blog/2024/11/waymo-o #Waymo #autonomousdriving #robotaxi #LosAngeles #musk #ridehail #fsd #selfdriving

  27. Having tested Tesla's Full Self Driving (Supervised) on greater #Boston streets this past summer in my 2023 Model 3, my finding was that the level of effort to be on guard to react and correct against the car doing something wrong, potentially very rapidly, is GREATER than the level of effort to just drive the car yourself. So, that high level of effort defeated the entire purpose of FSD.
    Hopefully they'll eventually achieve safe autonomous driving in difficult environments like Boston, but it seemed to me they were pretty far off still despite a bunch of articles written by folks seemingly on the take from Tesla showing stellar results on clearly cherry picked driving scenarios.
    This article detailing the results from AMCI testing more closely matches my FSD experience:
