Musk Admits Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Claims Are Wrong
Elon Musk has admitted that Tesla will have to upgrade the computers in its Hardware 3 cars built between 2019 and 2023 to support fully self-driving. “The honest answer is that we’re going to have to upgrade the Hardware 3 computers of those who bought Full Self-Driving. It’s going to be painful and difficult, but we’re going to do it,” Musk said.
The admission contradicts the company’s 2016 claim that every Tesla built had the hardware to support fully self-driving. That promise, since removed from Tesla’s website, has kept the company’s valuation high for years.
After ending its partnership with Mobileye, the supplier of the first Autopilot computers, Tesla rolled out its own Hardware 2.0 solution, then Hardware 2.5. When Hardware 3 arrived in 2019, owners of older versions had to upgrade their computers to use supervised Full Self-Driving.
Tesla initially charged for the upgrade until one owner won a lawsuit where a judge ruled the 2016 promises were “false advertising” and ordered the upgrades to be provided for free.
This isn’t the first time Musk has failed to deliver on his promises to release fully autonomous Tesla vehicles.

Tesla robotaxi failure: 11 traffic violations in first days from 20 carsThe dream of robotaxis faces harsh reality! Tesla launched public tests of autonomous taxis in Austin, but the results were far from the promised technological miracle. In the first days of testing, at least 11 serious traffic violations were recorded. And this with only 20 vehicles selected for a limited circle of bloggers. Philip Koopman, professor at Carnegie Mellon University and expert on autonomous technologies, doesn't hide his surprise: "This is terribly fast for so many videos with unstable driving to appear".
Imagry created a drone without HD mapsImagry company created a unique autonomous control technology that works without HD maps. This engineering marvel is based on a bio-inspired approach that mimics human perception and decision-making. Imagine — the system sees the road with eye-cameras and makes decisions with a brain-neural network, exactly like an experienced driver!

Meta AI blocks thousands of Facebook groups for "terrorism"Earlier I told you that Meta's artificial intelligence was massively blocking Instagram accounts. Now it's blocking Facebook groups too. An unprecedented wave of blocks is happening. Thousands of Facebook groups fell under unfounded sanctions from the moderation system. This technical collapse affected communities both in the USA and abroad, covering the most diverse thematic categories.
