A couple of things, as an industry observer and a Tesla owner/FSD user: 1) The use of "a self-driving Tesla" in this post is misleading in the first place. The feature is Full Self Driving (Supervised) but it does not make the car "self-driving". Better to have used "a Tesla with the FSD (Supervised) driver assistance technology activated...." So legacy media still needs a lot of education; 2) From a technology point of view to prevent driver from falling asleep and still using the system should not be hard (Tesla's new ACE feature is one in that direction), whether active or passive safety features; 3) I will only agree with the last comment in the video: "all drivers, not this driver, they must remain alert even while using self-driving features," (but again, I don't like the word "self-driving.") I remind myself of this every time I use FSD. The human driver is always responsible at all times. But question: the braking lights seem to be on before impact?

Couple of more announcements from Volvo Cars and Mercedes with extending partnership with NVIDIA. Common thread: NVIDIA Hyperion compute and sensor architecture, Alpamayo Stack software, and Halos safety system.

Spoke with Liu Xin last night fresh off my return from the #ParisMotorShow# and shared some fresh on the ground perspectives on the show, the recent China-EU agreement on hybrid vehicles and the so-called "kill switch." Full replay:

First one for me: successfully navigated the Arc de Triomphe roundabout under intelligent driving mode in a Chery JAECOO 7 with Momenta R7. The other big landmark where I've passed through in a vehicle while under intelligent driving mode is Tian'anmen Square on Chang'an Ave. in Beijing, three times: Momenta R6 (AUDI E7X) , Xpeng NGP (GX) and NIO NOA based on NWM (ONVO L60). Surreal. (p.s. I guess the only thing left to experience is the cliff hanger)

Incredible day with @GeelyAutoGroup @GeelyAutoGlobal @LynkCoGlobal @ZeekrGlobal Interesting wouldn’t cut it. Thrilling, adrenaline rushing surprising, fun, WTF, no time to tweet type of incredible. #ParisMotorShow#

Bumped into some fellow Tesla owners/FSD advocates representing North America at the @GeelyAutoGroup Gala Night on the Seine in the City of Lights. As international as it gets. China Europe North America somehow interconnected. @scotsrule08 @DavidMoss @DevinOlsenn #ParisMotorShow#

Talk in a bit after a two-week hiatus. Might be a slightly longer episode. What's on our minds: China's on Golden Week Holiday, which means....
