Part 3/11:
Musk confidently stated that the FSD technology used in Tesla’s Austin fleet is already six months ahead of the version available in American cars, signaling rapid progress and a roadmap geared toward full autonomy. The new model aims to improve safety and driving quality to the point where remote safety monitors can eventually be phased out.

Achieving true robo taxi operations isn't solely about an advanced AI model; it involves a layered architecture:
- Core AI (FSD) — the vehicle's primary decision-making system. This needs to be sufficiently reliable to operate without intervention in most scenarios.
