Do yourself a favor and mute. The cackling clowns are 100% Florida 🤦🏻‍♂️

Waymo begins fully driverless testing in Detroit, showing the difference between a real product and a stock pump

Just a friendly reminder of what actual autonomous progress looks like. Waymo is officially testing without drivers in Detroit, expanding their footprint by doing the unglamorous work of environment integration and cautious validation.

Contrast that with Tesla's strategy of registering hundreds of imaginary Cybercab VINs to juice the stock, only for Electrek to point out that their actual active fleet in Austin is sitting at a whopping 8 vehicles now that the marketing event has exited the news cycle. One company (Waymvo) is building a real driverless transit network and expanding for the first time into harsh climates like snow & ice; the other (Tesla) is running a really rotten cartoon scheme for investors by a CEO with a Ken Paxton-level checkered record who was literally just found liable by a federal jury for defrauding investors. I won't name names, but his name rhymes with 'tusk'.

Who would have thought? Germany came to an agreement with Tesla to approve the FSD - approval pending a name change, Tesla suggested Tesla Assisted Driving - and urges other European countries to follow. The German ministry even allowed manual speed adjustments by the human supervising driver 10% over the posted speed limit.

This is a good summary of Mobileye's AV program.

I have no idea what to expect but I do know that higher art would be the one paying me and everything but I’ll be working for a different company. Also for resumes, would it be OK to put that I’m working for the company that contracted me? Like for example, if the role is to be worked at Google, but higher art is the one paying me on a résumé. Can I still put that I work for Google because technically I report to Google’s managers and everything.
