Tesla is doing it again. If you have a Tesla with Full Self Driving (FSD), you can now (again) buy a new Tesla and have it transferred to that new car. Originally, after customers begged for this for years, Elon Musk conceded and agreed to let Tesla owners who had … [continued]
I tested Waymo’s automated taxis during a Phoenix vacation. I found Waymo’s service comparable to Uber’s/Lyft’s, slightly cheaper, and user-friendly, despite minor pickup inconveniences. Waymo’s driving matched Tesla FSD V13’s best performance—confident yet cautious—but excelled as a consumer experience, allowing passengers to relax without supervising the vehicle. Tesla FSD, while … [continued]
Tesla says the Semi is entering high-volume production in 2025, nearly eight years after its 2017 unveiling. At the time, Elon Musk promised a revolution in freight: 500 miles of electric range, faster acceleration than a diesel, and a cost-per-mile figure that would make it a no-brainer for fleet managers. … [continued]

I’ve been driving with and obsessively using Tesla’s artificial intelligence software in my Model 3 now for over 5 years and nearly 150,000 miles, both on Interstate highways and city … [continued]
In my article yesterday about BYD including its advanced driver-assist tech in all of its models, I made some claims that were perhaps not very well informed or accurate. I wrote, “However, some headlines are claiming this is Tesla-like tech and that this is going to make all of BYD’s … [continued]
Update: I have corrections to make on some statements here. See: “BYD God’s Eye More Advanced Than Tesla Full Self Driving (FSD)?“ The media is ablaze with a big announcement from BYD. The company is going to be putting a new ADAS (advanced driver assist system), “God’s Eye,” into every … [continued]
