🚗 Robotaxis & Full Self-Driving Expansion
Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla plans to launch its fully autonomous robotaxi service by mid‑2025. He believes this could revolutionize urban transportation, starting with cities like Austin and then expanding across other states. He’s confident that unsupervised full self-driving will be available in major markets before the end of 2025, despite ongoing regulatory hurdles.
🤖 Thousands of Optimus Robots Coming
Tesla also aims to deploy thousands of humanoid Optimus robots in its factories by the end of the year. Musk envisions these robots taking over repetitive tasks, increasing production efficiency. He boldly claimed that the Optimus robot might eventually become Tesla’s most valuable product line, surpassing even its electric vehicles.
💡 Powerful New AI Chip
Tesla has developed a powerful new AI chip, internally called AI6. It’s designed to boost the performance of Tesla’s robotaxis, humanoid robots, and data systems. According to Musk, this chip offers nearly ten times the power of their current hardware and is key to advancing Tesla’s artificial intelligence infrastructure.
📹 AI-Powered Vine Revival
In a surprise move, Musk announced that the short-form video app Vine is making a comeback. The twist? It’s now powered by AI. Users will be able to generate 6-second video clips using prompts through the Grok AI system on X. The tool is expected to rival platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels.
