Ross Gerber, co-founder of Gerber Kawasaki, has publicly criticized Tesla’s Robotaxi operations. Gerber’s criticism comes after Tesla launched a ride-hailing service in the San Francisco Bay Area. According to Gerber, it is “silly” to refer to the service as “Tesla Robotaxi.”
Background on the Issue
Gerber expressed his concerns on social media, stating that Tesla is facing potentially damaging cases in court over its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. He advised the company to use more accurate terminology, rather than relying on “wild exaggerations.”
Gerber’s Statement
It kinda seems silly to call it a Tesla Robotaxi. Meanwhile, some pretty potentially damaging FSD cases work through the courts. Tesla should consider calling things by the right names. Not wild exaggerations.
Contradictions in Supervised FSD Concept
Gerber also criticized Tesla’s Supervised Full Self-Driving technology, calling it an “oxymoron.”
Gerber’s Post on Supervised FSD
“Supervised Full Self Driving” is an oxymoron.
Why This Matters
Tesla recently announced the rollout of its ride-hailing service in the San Francisco Bay Area, with ambitions to serve over half of the US population by the end of 2025. However, the company did not mention Robotaxis in the announcement. This has raised questions about the accuracy of Tesla’s claims and the potential for misleading investors.
Market Predictions
Morgan Stanley has predicted that the autonomous driving market in the US will be worth $200 billion by 2030. Tesla’s progress in this area will be crucial to its success in the market.
Current Developments
Tesla’s stock performance will be closely watched as the company navigates the challenges and opportunities in the autonomous driving market.
