OpenAI Just Proved Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” Can Never Work

No wonder Musk hates Altman…

Tesla has been developing self-driving cars for a long time. The first Model Ss with “Autopilot” rolled out of the factory a decade ago. Their more advanced FSD first reached customers over five years ago. Yet, even after all this time and billions of dollars spent, these systems still suck. Third-party data shows that even the latest versions of FSD can only travel 493 miles between critical disengagements. However, the actual figure is likely far worse, as the data also shows that FSD customers distrust the system so much that they only use it 15% of the time! Tesla’s soft launch of its Robotaxi service demonstrated this woeful lack of safety, as within a few days, the vehicles had been spotted egregiously violating traffic laws and driving dangerously multiple times. It feels like Tesla is going nowhere and is just smacking its head against a brick wall. Surely, FSD will work as promised eventually, right? Well, not according to a research paper from OpenAI…

OpenAI does more than fail to replace your job, destroy the internet with its brainrot slop and force our financial institutions into an economy-crushing bubble. Behind all the bullshit hype, they have a dedicated team of top-notch AI scientists doing brilliant research. Interestingly, their latest paper is the…

The entire value of Tesla is based on the notion that he knows what he is doing with AI.

I see your point (and love your articles). I'd like to add that Tesla's value, or at least their valuation, is mostly based on the fact that they have the world'r richest man to bail them out whenever he feels like reinvesting a billion here or…

I was a Tesla shareholder until the FSD demo, then I timed my exit and left. I did bank a return, I'm not a full-on Tesla critic. I think they're doing good work.
That being said, not sure about FSD and I didn't like the demo last year.
Peace.
