Part 9/10:
Tesla anticipates that by Q2 2026, the Cybertruck and other models will incorporate the new AI hardware, with full autonomy expected to be achievable by the end of 2026. Musk confidently states that Cybertruck could be the first Tesla vehicle with AI5-level chips, enabling fully autonomous, scaled-up robo-taxi fleets.
The current AI4 platform is already demonstrating leading-edge performance, with the upcoming hardware serving as a bridge to the ultimate goal: world-scale, fully autonomous vehicles and robotic assistants. Musk is optimistic that the pace of technological progress means that “game over” for traditional driver-assistance systems will occur by the end of 2026, marking a new era of AI-driven transportation and robotics.
