Tesla 14.3 Self-Driving Impressively Polished, Beats 14.2
I was worried early builds of Tesla Self-Driving 14.3 would be a step back, but I'm glad to see that's not the case. This is one of the most polished pre-release builds I've ever seen. Everything you love about 14.2 but better. Here it is driving me 1 hour, including highways. https://t.co/cFSH1xy7k1

SF Pedestrian Deaths Far Exceed NYC; Waymo Impact Unproven
SF had 17 pedestrian deaths in 2025 against a population of about 810k. NYC had 111 ped deaths against a population of about 8.5m. NYC's per-capital pedestrian fatality rate is less than two-thirds of SF's. There's no evidence at all...

Admittedly, it's a complicated series of ramps and highways, Route 51, the 10 and 202 all come together in this part of downtown Phoenix, but seriously. There is plenty of time and very clear signage but Tesla's FSD always waits...
Insurers Must Redesign for Autonomous AI, Not Upgrade Legacy
Most insurers think they’re getting ready for AI. They’re not. They’re preparing for a version of AI that improves yesterday’s operating model, not one that reshapes tomorrow’s business. That’s the mistake. The real shift in insurance is not about layering AI onto existing workflows....

Pro‑Waymo Ignoring 177k NYC Driver Jobs Issue
I feel like I'm going nuts here reading on X about the NYC Waymo discourse because none of the pro-Waymo folks are acknowledging the issue: it's 177k FHV driver jobs in the city. You want to advance? You have to...
Simple Robots Unite, Achieving Power Beyond Single Machines
Small robots, big idea. Ant-inspired systems show what happens when you focus less on individual capability and more on coordination. Each unit is simple. But together, they can navigate, carry, and adapt in ways a single robot can’t. That’s the shift. From powerful machines… to distributed...
FSD 14.3 Halts at Destination, Skips Parking
Instead of parking, FSD 14.3 randomly just stopped at the destination pin. Perhaps this had something to do with the two valets standing in the street, but idk. https://t.co/BkllMsXxb6

SFO Shelters Waymo, Prioritizes Uber/Lyft Over Safety
SFO approved Waymo — then buried it at the Rental Car Center. Meanwhile, Uber and Lyft run 800K trips/month from the main garage. Zero safety rationale. Pure incumbent protection. https://t.co/53a332crtg

Waymo’s Slow Build Shows Robotaxi Success Takes Time
Waymo started in 2009. They did a whole lot of nothing for many years before they were able to scale to this level. The way they scaled makes Robotaxi look fast. $TSLA cucks would be wise to learn from this.
Zappos Beat Amazon with Kiva Robots Before Acquisition
