I haven't been following it closely, but apparently Musk is on trial for his dealings with SolarCity.

And yet, chinese giant Baidu may well beat Tesla to self driving robo taxis and yes, they're doing their own AI semiconductors too.
All this fanpersonism from some saying Tesla is 10 years ahead is nonsense.

Tesla is not only in the pole position for electric vehicles, they are also the most valuable car company by far. If that's not a CEO successfully transitioning to the big leagues then what is?
I believe mmarshall and a few others share my sentiments. There is the other big thread regarding autonomous cars in general, not just Tesla FSD, and we had quite a few heated discussions in it from like 5 years ago. I stand by everything I said in it, and since then there has been zero progress in this technology, it still fails at most basic tasks. If this forum and us are around in a few decades, I'll remember to dig up the thread and post - "I told you so". Or maybe the skynet takes over, and machines learn our posting patterns, and 2000 years later AI member replacements tell my AI how wrong I was, lol.

You said Musk "has not transitioned effectively from a startup / fundraiser to a publicly traded company executive" I said Tesla is doing well under the leadership of Musk. How is that being needlessly argumentative? I am countering what you said with a fact, Musk's leadership and the obvious success of Tesla directly contradicts your claim.

Not getting it. There isn’t the need to read so much negative intent into every single post and feel the need to counter them. I don’t have a problem with Tesla or their success and said nothing about that.
Lex2k exit this thread please.
Musk admits Tesla's latest self-driving software update 'not great'
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said Monday said that the electric-car maker was working on improving the much-awaited update to its self-driving software "as fast as possible."The billionaire entrepreneur tweeted that the Full Self-Driving Beta version 9.2 is "actually not great imo (in my opinion), but Autopilot/AI team is rallying to improve as fast as possible."
"We're trying to have a single stack for both highway & city streets, but it requires massive NN (neural network) retraining."
Tesla had recently come under the scrutiny of U.S. safety regulators, who opened an investigation into its driver assistant system because of accidents where its cars crashed into stationary police cars and fire trucks.
Two U.S. senators also called on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Tesla, saying it misled consumers and endangered the public by marketing its driving automation systems as fully self-driving.
