Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, announced that the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which operates under driver supervision, might obtain approval from European and Chinese regulatory bodies as early as next month. In the face of decelerating car sales, Tesla is striving to fuel growth by amplifying its software revenue streams. Although there are encouraging signs in AI advancement, reflected in the regulatory headway of FSD and the early rollout of autonomous taxis, the technology remains in its nascent phase. Stringent European regulations and a fragmented regulatory landscape have hindered the deployment of FSD, with the Netherlands Vehicle Authority anticipated to render a decision in February. Moreover, Tesla has initiated a driverless autonomous taxi service in Austin, Texas, USA, that operates without safety supervisors. Musk has consistently underscored that autonomous driving AI technology lays the groundwork for humanoid robot technology. He foresees a future where the robot population will outnumber humans, with Tesla intending to make the humanoid robot Optimus available for public purchase by the end of next year.
