“We believe that our approach to autonomy – a vision-only architecture with end-to-end neural networks trained on billions of examples of real-world data – will result in scalable and safe deployment across diverse geographies and use cases. This was validated with the launch of FSD (Supervised) 1 in China, which was achieved without access to country-specific training data. Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck now drive autonomously – without human supervision – from the production line to the outbound logistics lot at our U.S. factories. We remain on track for pilot launch of Robotaxi in Austin by June and builds of Optimus on our Fremont pilot production line in 2025, with wider deployment of bots doing useful work across our factories, Tesla said in its earnings release.

“So at Tesla, we’ve gone through many, many of crisis over the years and actually been through many near death experiences. Like, we’re probably were on the ragged edge of death at least on maybe a dozen times,” Musk claimed. “This is not one of those times.”
