TESLA FSD MAKES 2 WILD SAVES - NHTSA HATES THIS

EV Channels Review

This video delves into several critical developments in the EV and autonomous driving space, with a strong focus on Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) capabilities. The hosts highlight two extraordinary FSD "edge cases": a Tesla successfully dodging a crashing plane in Oklahoma and a reported meteorite impact on a Model Y windshield in Australia. While the plane incident is confirmed and lauded as a potential life-saver, the meteorite event lacks video evidence, raising questions about its veracity and FSD's recording capabilities. The discussion then shifts to the controversial "Mad Max" mode in FSD v14, which has prompted a NHTSA investigation due to safety concerns and reported incidents. The hosts express personal reservations about the aggressive driving style, even for experienced FSD users. The expansion of Tesla's Robotaxi service in Austin is noted, though scalability concerns are raised due to limited fleet size relative to the expanded service area. The video also touches upon Lucid's partnership with Nvidia for Level 4 autonomy, GM's ambitious "eyes off" driving plans by 2028 (met with public skepticism), and the ongoing delays with the Tesla Roadster. A positive note is Tesla's new policy of pausing subscriptions for vehicles in service. Finally, the burgeoning robot competition between Tesla's Optimus and OpenAI-backed Neo is explored, with one host ordering Neo for home testing.
