☆ I drove hundreds of miles 'hands-free' in GM, Ford and Tesla cars – here's how it went

It aims to make Super Cruise available on 22 cars, trucks and SUVs globally by the end of 2023. When the steering-wheel light bar illuminates in green with GM's Super Cruise, drivers may remove their hands from the steering wheel. When Super Cruise did disengage, it would typically be available again minutes, if not seconds, later. Both Ford and GM systems would have likely hit a temporary concrete construction barrier if I hadn't taken over and disengaged on a large S-curve roadway near Detroit. Super Cruise and BlueCruise both disengaged several times for what seemed like no reason, only to reengage quickly after.

Musk acknowledged that humanoid robots do not have enough intelligence to navigate the real world without being explicitly instructed. But he said Tesla can leverage its expertise in AI and key components to develop and produce smart, yet less expensive, humanoid robots at scale. Jonathan Hurst, chief technology officer at Agility Robotics, a humanoid robot firm founded in 2015 said the technology “is right now starting to turn the corner.”“Certainly, an important measure of success is do they make money from it,” he told Reuters, referring to Tesla’s humanoid robot efforts.
