Part 4/10:
AI Developments and Tesla's Robo-Taxi Ambitions
While setbacks in space exploration continue, significant strides are happening on the AI front. PolyMarket now assigns a 59% probability to Tesla launching its Robo-Taxi service by June, up from just 14%. Elon Musk himself commented optimistically, highlighting this as a "money-making opportunity."
In Austin, on-the-ground reports confirm that Tesla is actively testing its Robo-Taxi fleet. At least 60 Tesla Model Ys with manufacturer plates are operating with Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology in unsupervised conditions, assessing collection, drop-offs, and user interface functionality. A sneak peek of the interface reveals a promising future where fully autonomous ride-hailing becomes commonplace.
