Tesla’s robotaxi debut in Austin got people excited. But can the company compete on the global stage with Chinese AV giants like Baidu and Pony.ai?

    But holy shit a marvel of marketing. Better be a case study in business school. They had little to no actual implementation for years and years but are still the go-to name for autonomous driving and selling subscriptions to something that doesn’t exist. Absolutely wild.

          All the real carmakers.

          Currently the German ones may be the techology leaders, and some Chinese brand may be the market leader - but I’m no expert, I just see what everybody can see.

                Yes, operating. Words don’t cut it. Tesla’s been lying about their systems for years.

                You’re right in that I mistyped L4.

                  VW doesn’t operate. They rather sell the cars that they build. So what’s your problem with that?
