Tesla’s AI Day offers a glimpse of just how sentient its bots have become


Just how sentient Tesla’s cars actually are is the subject of more than just debate. Days before Musk made those comments, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into whether the company’s Autopilot system is defective, after drivers using it repeatedly collided with vehicles at crash scenes, including emergency responders. — AFP

Tesla has long staged splashy events to generate buzz and media coverage of forthcoming – and sometimes aspirational – products. Part revival meeting, part recruiting event, the faithful get to see CEO Elon Musk speak, and investors get updates on priorities and progress.
