NVIDIA came to CES swinging with i ts new “Alpamayo” platform, essentially positioning itself as the go-to supplier for the “brains” of future autonomous robots and vehicles. It’s a direct shot at the integrated model Tesla is pursuing, where Tesla builds both the robot (car or humanoid) and the AI inference computer running it.
Tech investor Jason Calacanis said Tesla's Optimus robot could surpass the company's car business, calling it "the most transformative technology product ever made."
Tesla's lane centering feature, Autosteer, has officially been removed from the Model 3 and Model Y's vehicle configurator.
Here’s the reality: Tesla didn’t remove the safety monitor. It simply moved them from inside the Robotaxi to a chase car following closely behind. The move comes just as Musk claimed that Tesla “solved autonomy” again on stage in Davos. Tesla’s CEO has been making this claim every year for the last 6 years.
