The company didn't say how many are in each city, and has taken a far more cautious approach to scaling the network than CEO Elon Musk had promised.

David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) khẳng định Tesla Model Y là chiếc xe hoàn hảo nhất nhờ quy trình sản xuất gigapress, phần mềm liền mạch và công nghệ Full Self-Driving (FSD) "gần như thần kỳ". Ông đánh giá Model Y vượt trội hơn cả những siêu xe đắt tiền như Porsche Taycan Turbo S hay Aston Martin DBX, thể hiện sự thành công của công nghệ tự lái và xa xỉ phổ cập.
Lập trình viên nên đọc bài này để hiểu cách ứng dụng công nghệ AI và phần mềm hiện đại—như Full Self-Driving—đang thay đổi cách thiết kế sản phẩm từ các ngành công nghiệp truyền thống, từ xe hơi sang các lĩnh vực khác, và xem xét cách tiếp cận "giải pháp toàn diện" trong phát triển phần mềm.
Tesla posts record Q2 deliveries but is set to burn roughly $3.25bn in cash as its $25bn AI, robotaxi, and Optimus bill tests investor patience.
Huawei Digital Power booked 68.7bn yuan in 2025, up 24%, putting it within touching distance of Tesla’s $12.8bn energy division.
Tesla announced Cybercab employee rides 'starting soon' at Giga Texas, accompanied by a video of the vehicle driving itself across a parking lot. The real story, however, is a regulatory shift: two days earlier, the NHTSA administrator signaled willingness to scrap the rule requiring driverless vehicles to have steering wheels and manual controls. This is the legal constraint that has kept the Cybercab in a grey zone. Tesla has deliberately avoided applying for individual exemptions (capped at 2,500 vehicles/year), betting instead that federal rules would change broadly. That bet appears to be paying off. Meanwhile, Tesla's Austin robotaxi fleet of 42 vehicles lags far behind Waymo's 577, and its FSD crash rate is roughly four times worse than the human average. The parking lot video is marketing motion for a product that can't yet be legally or reliably deployed at scale on public roads.
The US and EU are taking opposite approaches to vehicle safety regulation. The US NHTSA is considering dropping the steering wheel requirement for fully driverless cars, benefiting companies like Tesla with its Cybercab. Meanwhile, the EU has mandated driver-monitoring cameras in all new cars sold in the bloc, tracking eye and face movements to detect inattention. The philosophical divide is stark: the US bets that removing humans from the loop eliminates human error, while Europe bets on monitoring human drivers more closely. Both approaches carry risks — no manual override in a driverless car emergency, and privacy concerns around in-car facial surveillance cameras.
Proception, a robotics startup founded by ex-Tesla Optimus engineer Jay Li, has settled a year-long trade secret lawsuit with Tesla and raised an $11M seed round led by First Round Capital. The company is now shipping its first dexterous robotic hands — featuring 22 degrees of freedom and a sensor-laden glove for scalable training data collection — to researchers and robotics companies. Tesla had sued Li in June 2025, alleging he downloaded confidential files before leaving to found Proception. The dexterous hand market is heating up globally, with competitors like China's Linkerbot dominating market share and European and Chinese startups raising hundreds of millions. Proception is betting that humanoid robot makers will outsource hand manufacturing rather than build in-house, positioning itself as a key supplier in the emerging humanoid robot supply chain.
Tesla has launched its Robotaxi service in West Miami, marking its fifth US city, and notably without a safety monitor on board — a first for a new market launch. Previously, Tesla deployed human monitors in the passenger seat when entering Austin in June 2025, removing them only later. The Miami rollout follows Tesla's pattern of starting in a limited zone before expanding. Waymo and Amazon's Zoox are also operating or testing in Miami, making it a key proving ground for autonomous vehicles. Tesla's camera-only approach is cheaper than sensor-heavy rivals, though it still trails Waymo significantly in fleet size. CEO Elon Musk has stated ambitions to expand to a dozen US states by year-end, though Tesla has a history of missing self-driving timelines, and regulators are closely watching safety developments.
The family of a 76-year-old woman killed when a Tesla Model 3 crashed into their Katy, Texas home has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Tesla and the driver, alleging defective driver-assistance design. The driver claims Autopilot was engaged at the time; Tesla counters that vehicle data shows the driver manually pressed the accelerator to 100% reaching 73mph. The case draws on the legal precedent set by a 2025 Florida verdict that held Tesla partly liable for $243m despite driver fault. NHTSA has opened a special crash investigation and will independently pull the event data recorder. The outcome hinges on whether driver misuse and corporate design liability can coexist, a question the Florida case answered affirmatively.
