Andor. May the Force NOT be with it. You've heard it's the best Star Wars since the first two movies, and I would say it is. Why it is, is interesting, and it could have been so much more. It's final epsidoe was also disappointingly mediocre in comparison.

What qualifies a service for being a real robocar or robotaxi? It starts with removing human supervisors, but there's more than that

It's the top debate in self-driving, is Waymo way or ahead, or is Tesla way ahead? Find out why people think these two opposites, and learn about how to answer

Tesla's cars need human supervision to drive, so like all other companies, Tesla cherry picked a trip to make a demonstration of an autonomous delivery

Using hotel charging can cut EV road trip prices and waits in half or more. But how will hotels price this service?

Many think that because Tesla's in-car-supervisor is in the passenger seat that the car is "driverless," but it's not. Tesla promised the Moon and delivered suborbital

There's a lot of ways humans assist self-driving cars, including giving them advice or remotely driving them. Here's a look at the different approaches.

Tesla wanted to launch today, but in the end they will do the safe and right thing and like all others, test with human safety drivers on board. Here's why.

Tesla says you could buy a Cybercab or hire out your regular Tesla as a robotaxi and make big money from it. Since I first proposed that in 2008, many problems appeared.

Elon Musk promised the June Austin Robotaxi would operate "unsupervised." New disclosures suggest that won't happen, but what will?

The cars don't come home, they are owned by their maker, and it's all over-the-air software updates for all robotaxi recalls

There's 50 times the energy in a big-semi truck, so this is a big deal

Uber would love for users to come to them, as they do today, seeking a ride, and match them up with a suitable robotaxi from a variety of fleets.

Robotaxis are what you do first, but eventually people want private cars too. Using insights from working for and studying these companies, here are some details.

That's much better than current FSD, but much worse than humans or Waymo. They revealed a number of other interesting details

Tesla showed a Robovan with the CyberCab but said little. Here's how self-driving vans could be the future of public transit

The regulations for robotaxis in China are much stricter than most of the US. Here are some details, plus a report on rides in both Chinese and US robotaxis

BYD's charger will be fast, but probably quite expensive, and you won't need it, and only want it some of the time. So does it change the game?

Even if you can't charge at your home or office, there are still ways to never wait for your car to charge. Here's how.

I’ve put 50,000 miles on my electric car, around half of them on long distance road trips. But when people ask, “Don’t those take a long time to charge?” my response is that I’ve spent less time waiting to charge than I used to spend filling up with gasoline. You just have to know how to do it right, and you need right charging infrastructure. That latter factor is why I have to say “almost,” because this is not always true in these early days of EV adoption, but it will be true almost all the time as the EV transition continues.
