Tesla’s AI Ambitions Reach Critical Inflection Point, Musk Says
Elon Musk positioned Tesla as an artificial intelligence leader during the company's third-quarter earnings call, declaring a pivotal shift toward real-world AI applications. The CEO emphasized full self-driving technology and smart robots as core value drivers, predicting widespread adoption will shock transportation systems.
Tesla's FSD software now reaches 12% of its vehicle fleet, leaving substantial growth potential. "People just don't quite appreciate the degree to which this will take off," Musk stated, envisioning a future where occupants work or text during autonomous rides. This capability, he argued, WOULD make Tesla vehicles universally desirable.
