Tesla Bull and co-founder of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management has now voiced his concerns about Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) v14.2.2.25 update. While earlier Gerber has earlier praised improvements in Tesla’s latest FSD iteration, he shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) that the system struggled at the time of a trial run in the rain with his cybertruck. Gerber shared a photo of the FSD interface along with a warning, “Autopilot Visibility Limited. Clear dirt or debris on cameras.” He further noted that the issue wasn’t caused by dirt but by rain interfering with the system’s sensors. “Not sure of Tesla’s plans if FSD doesn’t work well in rain or direct sunlight…” Gerber wrote, adding that he wanted other users to test the system in similar conditions.
Gerber praised FSD v14 earlier
The latest comments made by Gerber made a stark shift from his earlier stance, where he hailed Tesla’s v14 update as a significant leap forward in autonomous driving. But his new remarks highlight the challenges Tesla faces in ensuring FSD reliability across diverse weather conditions.
Elon Musk’s Tesla may be paying employees extra to become Robotaxi ‘drivers’
esla is said to be hiring factory floor workers and salespeople to become “AI operators” for its self-driving ride-sharing service. The electric car manufacturer, led by Elon Musk, is reportedly offering overtime and shifts to staff willing to monitor its Robotaxi cars. According to a report by Business Insider, a poster at Tesla’s offices in California appears to show the company is looking to hire production associates and material handlers to increase the availability of its “Robotaxi” service in the Bay Area.These operators are required to sit in the driver’s seat, “actively monitoring the vehicle while Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software is engaged, and taking over when needed,” as the company eventually plans to release the software as a fully autonomous service.The recruitment effort extends beyond factory lines to include engineering and sales departments as well. The report cited LinkedIn profiles to claim that employees in Nevada and Arizona have already transitioned into similar operator roles in Las Vegas and Phoenix. To accelerate hiring, Tesla is also offering a $500 bonus to staff who refer candidates for the AI operator positions.
