Tesla is making headlines with its new electric train, upcoming self-driving technology demonstration, and a potential collaboration with Worksport for a range-extending solution for its EVs. Learn about these exciting developments and their implications for the future of transportation.
Tesla has announced plans to introduce its full self-driving (FSD) technology in Asia and Europe by the first quarter of 2025. An industry expert discusses the potential impact on Tesla’s business, the challenges of adapting FSD to different markets, and the company’s overall position in the current market.
Tesla’s dominance in the autonomous driving market is facing growing skepticism, with prominent Tesla investor Gary Black questioning the company’s ability to maintain a monopoly in the unsupervised L4/L5 autonomy sector. Black highlights the progress of competitors like Baidu, Mobileye, and Waymo, who have already received approvals to deploy their autonomous vehicles. He also raises concerns about the timeline and reliability of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, pointing to the lack of evidence supporting its unsupervised capabilities.
Tesla is reportedly planning to establish a data center in China to train its autonomous driving systems, leveraging the country’s vast pool of vehicle sensor data. CEO Elon Musk has been meeting with Chinese officials to secure permissions for data transfer and explore potential partnerships. Tesla’s move underscores its commitment to advancing AI and self-driving capabilities, particularly in a market where data collection and regulatory approvals are crucial.
Tesla plans to establish a data center in China to train its algorithm for more autonomous vehicles, harnessing the country’s vast fleet of data-collecting cars. Despite US government restrictions on AI technology transfer, Tesla seeks to use China’s data to enhance its self-driving system. This move highlights the company’s strategic shift towards AI and its efforts to maintain its competitive edge in the electric vehicle market.
Tesla has revealed plans for its upcoming self-driving ride-hailing app, which will integrate with the existing Tesla app and offer unique features like vehicle summoning and remote temperature and music control. The app’s release is contingent upon Tesla achieving unsupervised self-driving, which the company claims to be making progress towards with its FSD v12 software.
