That's much better than current FSD, but much worse than humans or Waymo. They revealed a number of other interesting details

Tesla showed a Robovan with the CyberCab but said little. Here's how self-driving vans could be the future of public transit

The regulations for robotaxis in China are much stricter than most of the US. Here are some details, plus a report on rides in both Chinese and US robotaxis

BYD's charger will be fast, but probably quite expensive, and you won't need it, and only want it some of the time. So does it change the game?

Even if you can't charge at your home or office, there are still ways to never wait for your car to charge. Here's how.

After Mark Rober's video on Tesla vs. a LIDAR car, somebody tries to replicate the test on FSD instead of Autopilot, as Rober should have. One FSD works, another fails.

Mark Rober's tests were pretty artificial and examined Tesla's obsolete driver-assist system, not its prototype self-driving system.

It took a while, but Waymo is now servicing its HQ and the place it was born. I worked there 13 years ago and have seen it grow up.

With Waymo up to 200,000/week, total rides are now well over a million a month. The robotaxi is here. But people mistake it for Uber because it looks like that today.

People want to run EV charging stations as a business, but could you sell gasoline for $4/gallon if almost everybody has a $1/gallon filling station at home?

We look at Musk's very specific words from the earnings call, and what they might translate to in Austin to make a service when the software's not yet ready

Tesla is "cheap and everywhere first, they hope for safe." Waymo is "Safe first, then expand and lower costs." MobilEye thinks there is a zig-zag through the middle

In order to compare the two, it's important to figure out just how to judge the quality of a self-driving system.

The claim of the vehicles driving around, carrying passengers with no driver behind the wheel by June borders on ridiculous. The numbers just don't back it up

It doesn't matter what Musk really meant with this salute. Robotaxis are exclusively a product for large urban areas, and that population largely didn't like it at all.

An EV charging station is nothing like a gas station. To get it right, station owners must understand the different business rules and avoid gasoline thinking.

The competition to win in self-driving saw setbacks in 2024, but things were still going strong at CES. Here's a summary of some transportation stories from CES

It was a year of tumult, with success and major failures. Let's count down the top self-driving stories of 2024

New safety data on Waymos, made by the insurer SwissRe, shore up claims of Waymos reducing risk on the road.

GM has killed Cruise's robotaxi project. In this article, I muse about some consequences, including why Tesla should buy it, what it means for global competition and what role the DMV played in the death of Cruise and what it should think about that. Link to the article in the comments.
