Shoot us a Text.Episode #1067: We're covering how President Trump announced that China will provide rare earth minerals in a new trade deal. Plus Tesla's push toward a robotaxi launch in Austin and what it means for the future of autonomy and Apple brings a major refresh to CarPlay in iOS26.President Trump just announced the deal is “done” regarding a sweeping trade agreement that positions China as the upfront supplier of rare earths to the U.S.—a major shift with big implications for auto and defense manufacturing.Trump says China will supply magnets and rare earths “up front” under a trade deal.U.S. to grant concessions like college access to Chinese students.The deal still requires final sign-off by Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.Tensions had escalated after China restricted exports critical to auto and defense.“WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%,” Trump wrote on Truth SocialTesla's long-awaited robotaxi service is almost here. Elon Musk says it could officially launch in Austin on June 22—with an emphasis on “tentatively.” It's a make-or-break moment for Tesla's autonomous ambitions.Tesla is testing unmodified Model Ys with a new FSD system that has ~4x more parameters than the current version.The service will launch in a geo-fenced area of Austin with a small internal fleet supported by human teleoperators.A trailing car with a safety driver has been spotted following the autonomous vehicles during testing.The company just started truly driverless tests in late May—weeks ahead of the projected launch."The vast majority of valuation upside looking ahead for Tesla is centered around the success of its autonomous vision," said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives.Apple is rolling out iOS26 with its biggest CarPlay update in years, bringing a sleek new look and features that aim to put your car's native OS to shame.CarPlay gets a new “Liquid Glass” design with glossy, semi-transparent icons and tabs.Widgets come to the homepage, allowing real-time views of calendars, smart home tools, and weather.Messaging gets streamlined with voice-activated emojis (Tapbacks) and pinned conversations for quicker access.Incoming calls now appear in a compact banner, no longer hijacking your entire display during navigation.Live Activities—real-time countdowns and status updates—are now embedded in CarPlay for things like food orders or airport pickups.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

AI az Óvodától a Vezérigazgatói Székig: Így Veszik Át az Irányítást! Hihetetlen, de igaz: Musk és Trump nemcsak a politikában, de a kertészetben is összecsapott? Vagy mégsem? Ezen kívül boncolgattuk a kínaiak tengerbe pottyanó, de ígéretes rakétáját, egy litván politikus bizarr kalandját Elon Muskkal, és azt, hogy lassan már a vezérigazgatók is csak AI avatárok lesznek. Tartsatok velünk!Meta-Szemüveg KatonáknakTesla: Hullámvasút RészvényekkelKínai műholdak: Az Űrlift Előfutára?Félős Robotaxi TexasbanAI az ÓvodábanSzerelmes MűholdakKedves Hallgatóink, ismét egy agyzsibbasztóan izgalmas Zártosztály adáson vagyunk túl, ahol a technológia, az űr és a tudomány legfrissebb híreit boncolgattuk, néha egészen abszurd fordulatokkal.A kínaiak újrafelhasználható rakétájának tesztjeivel kezdünk. Bár a leszállás nem az állványra, hanem a tengerbe történt egy laza "blutty" kíséretében, a szándék és a technológiai demonstráció így is lenyűgöző volt. Több hajtóműves szerkezet, ami képes volt egy rövid repülésre és irányított ereszkedésre – ez mindenképpen előremutató.Nemzetközi vizekről evezve a politika és a tech találkozásához: egy litván politikus, bizonyos Remigijus Žemaitaitis, meghívást kapott Elon Muskhoz, hogy a USAID támogatások csökkentéséről tárgyaljanak. A történet azonban hamarosan kémregénybe illő fordulatot vett, amikor kiderült, hogy az egész meghívás egy átverés volt, pedig, még operajegyet is foglaltak neki. A tanulság? Mindig ellenőrizzük az e-mailek küldőjét!A Tesla háza táján is zajlik az élet. A korábban belengetett FSD és a Robotaxi ígérete még mindig a levegőben lóg, miközben Európában felére csökkentek a Tesla eladások. Vajon miért? Talán mert már mindenkinek van, és olyan jó minőségűek, hogy nem esnek szét? Vagy más oka van? Felmerült a zörgő beltér kérdése, ami ellen azt a két megoldást találtuk, hogy vagy teljesen kipakolod a Tesla belsejét, vagy az egészet megtöltöd disznózsírral, úgy már garantáltan nem zörög benne semmi. Gyengül a szerelem Trump és Musk között. Állítólag Trump emberei és Musk között nemrég összetűzés bontakozott ki, ahol magyarul hangzottak el a "fák, fák, fák" szavak egy biciklilánc kapcsán. De más milliárdosok is szóba kerülnek, például Trump és az Apple csörtéje, ahol az elnök az iPhone-ok amerikai területen történő gyártását sürgette, különben extra büntetővámokat helyezett kilátásba. Az űrversenyben a Starship legutóbbi fellövése is terítékre került. Bár maga a fellövés sikeres volt, és a rakéta elérte a világűrt, a Starlink műholdak telepítése közben akadtak problémák. Ez felveti a kérdést, hogy a Starlink II.-k is csak az ígéretekben léteznek? Eközben a kínaiak saját, fedélzeti AI-val megtámogatott műhold konstellációt építenek, ami lézerrel kommunikál majd a műholdak között, sőt, akár az atmoszférán keresztül is. Ez már valóban a jövő!Kutatók rájöttek, hogy ha az AI-t fokozatosan tanítják be, ahogy a gyerekeket is, óvodástól az egyetemi szintekig, akkor komplexebb feladatokra is képes lehet. És ha már furcsaságok: hallottatok a LoveJack nevű társkereső appról, ahol mindössze öt szóval kell bemutatkoznod? Vajon ez elég a szerelemhez? Eközben a NASA leállította a "Spot the Station" weboldalát, így aki az ISS-t akarja követni, annak le kell töltenie az applikációjukat.A Klarna és a Zoom vezérigazgatói is már AI avatárokkal tartanak a részvényeseknek beszámolókat. Ez volt tehát a legutóbbi Zártosztály adás sűrített krónikája. Remélem, Ti is olyan jól szórakoztatok a témákon, mint mi az adás készítése közben!

Chris Urmson has spent the last 20 years pushing the limits of autonomous driving—first at Carnegie Mellon's DARPA Grand Challenge team, then as co-founder of Google's self-driving car project, now Waymo.On this week's episode, the Aurora CEO retraces that journey—from building robot cars in the desert to leading a public company pioneering driverless trucking.He shares why autonomy was always a matter of when, not if, how he handled a high-profile departure from Waymo, and what it takes to build at the intersection of deep tech, safety, and infrastructure.Now eight years into Aurora, Urmson says the future he's been chasing is finally within reach.Guest: Chris Urmson, Co-Founder & CEO of AuroraChapters: 00:00 Trailer00:43 Introduction01:59 FSD: are we there? 14:31 The competition, a million dollar check from LA to LV22:50 Dream like an amateur, execute like a pro32:30 Operate with integrity42:49 The future is here, unevenly distributed49:36 Underestimated decisions, minimizing regrets1:03:55 Retaining value1:16:45 Integrating self-driving1:28:20 Lifer1:29:25 Who Aurora is hiring1:29:53 What “grit” means to Chris1:30:15 OutroMentioned in this episode: Waymo, Google, Rivian, Dmitri Dolgov, Uber, Tesla, The DARPA Grand Challenge, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, United States Department of Defense, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, FedEx, Werner Enterprises, Hirschbach, Schneider Electric, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Sebastian Thrun, Batman, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Anthony Levandowski, Donald Trump, Apple iPhone, Airbnb, Blackmore, Stripe, Titan, Ford, Volkswagen, RJ Scaringe, Peterbilt Motors Company, The Volvo Group, Continental AG, Dara KhosrowshahiLinks:Connect with Chris UrmsonXLinkedInConnect with JoubinXLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner Perkins
This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk preview Tesla's upcoming FSD robotaxi launch, Waymo's continued interest in personally-owned autonomous vehicles and Aurora's stumbles. As we approach June, all eyes are on Austin in anticipation of Tesla's highly awaited robotaxi launch. With real-world testing already underway, Tesla is taking a measured yet impactful approach by prioritizing safety.Meanwhile, Waymo has surpassed 10 million paid rides and is signaling a strategic expansion into personally-owned autonomous vehicles. On the freight side of autonomy, the autonomous trucking market is heating up, even as Aurora stumbles. After successfully launching driver-out commercial operations in April, Aurora was forced by its OEM partner, PACCAR to reinstate a safety driver behind the wheel, raising questions about the strength of the partnership and the company's near-term trajectory.Aurora's recent stumbles come just as Waymo is re-evaluating a potential return to the autonomous trucking industry, as investors are closely monitoring how these shifting dynamics could reshape the market.Episode Chapters0:00 Autonomy Markets On The Road1:12 Tesla Model Y3:08 Tesla's Upcoming Robotaxi Launch9:02 Managing Vehicles on the Tesla Network 10:57 Tesla's Competitive Threat to Uber14:35 Waymo: 10 Million Paid Rides and Counting 16:01 Waymo at Google I/O20:33 Waymo's Multi-Deployment Strategy 23:30 Licensing Tesla FSD25:33 Nuro27:45 Aurora Goes Back to Driver-In34:08 Is Waymo Going Back into Trucking?35:21 Is Waymo Feeling Pressure from Tesla?37:31 China40:21 National Autonomous Vehicle Framework 42:07 Unforced Error of The Week / Next WeekRecorded on Friday, May 23, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Tesla Exec says FSD years behind Waymo
The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1049: Today we're diving into Toyota's bold software move with the redesigned RAV4 Hybrid, watching Tesla and Waymo duel for robotaxi dominance, and seeing how Home Depot is holding the line on prices as tariffs rattle retailShow Notes with links:Toyota's sixth-gen RAV4 Hybrid isn't just sleeker—it's smarter. As the first model to feature the all-new Arene operating system, the global bestseller is now a testbed for Toyota's software-first future.Arene is built by Woven by Toyota, the automaker's in-house software arm and made up of three core components: Arene SDK (to build apps and features), Arene Tools (to virtually test them), and Arene Data (to collect and use real-world driver feedback).In practice, that means Toyota can push OTA updates that improve safety systems like Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 based on global user data, often updating every few weeks or months, mirroring how smartphone OS updates roll out.The SDK powers the new voice agent and center display; the data system creates a feedback loop that improves regional performance by learning from users in 180 countries.“Software can be an added layer where we can evolve the car over time,” said Woven CTO John Absmeier. “We help your Toyota grow old with you.”Tesla and Waymo are tackling robotaxis from different angles—Tesla with bold camera-only tech, and Waymo with sensor-packed precision. But a real-world test in San Francisco handed one of them a clear win.Waymo's service, active since 2024, uses 29 cameras, 5 lidars, and 6 radars in Jaguar I-PACEs.Tesla's FSD Supervised software, tested in a Model 3, relies solely on eight external cameras—with its FSD Unsupervised version launching in Austin next month.On winding SF roads from Twin Peaks to Chase Center, both systems performed well—until Tesla's FSD ran a red light at a busy intersection.The Waymo delivered a confident, human-like ride, including a lane change that “seemed like it was just tired of waiting.”“It's got New York cab driver energy,” said tester Alistair Barr of Waymo's proactive driving style.As tariffs squeeze the retail sector, Home Depot is leaning into its U.S.-based supply chain and scale advantage to keep prices steady—even as competitors like Walmart warn of price hikes.Over half of Home Depot's inventory is sourced domestically, with imports on the decline.CFO Richard McPhail says no single foreign country will represent more than 10% of purchases within 12 months.Q1 2025 revenue rose 9.4% to $39.9B, with average transaction values ticking up slightly to $90.71.The company saw 394.8 million transactions, a 2.1% increase year-over-year.“We saw continued customer engagement across smaller projects,” said CEO Ted Decker.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
For the first time in their 119-year existence, Crystal Palace can call themselves FA Cup winners after a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday. The Eagles were inspired by a heroic Dean Henderson performance after Eberechi Eze's goal gave them something to hang on to in the first half, and Man City couldn't break down the Palace door despite their efforts. Elsewhere, Goodison Park hosted its final game before Everton move to "Hill Dickinson Stadium" - something that irked Niall in today's Get In The Sea nominations. The Toffees eased past miserable Southampton to mark the occasion with three points on a day where 100 former players were invited to say their goodbyes. Also over the weekend there was ups and downs in the race for the European places. Arsenal secured second while simultaneously making Newcastle's fate go down to the final day, Aston Villa and Forest earned vital points too, but Brentford threw away a lead to lose to Fulham in a local derby, all but ending their hopes of a Conference League place.

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Waymo's recall, Tesla's most recent NHTSA letter and Sterling Anderson's surprise move to join GM as EVP & Chief Product Officer.For the first time ever, Waymo had a fleet-wide recall after a series of minor collisions involving stationary objects, a recall that was fixed with a simple over-the-air update. As Waymo updated their vehicles, Tesla was once again under regulatory scrutiny, this time about their upcoming FSD Unsupervised launch in Austin.Could NHTSA's request for more information, give Elon Musk and Tesla an off-ramp as they work to further develop FSD prior to deploying fully autonomous robotaxis. In an unexpected twist, former Aurora co-founder Sterling Anderson joined GM as EVP & Chief Product Officer. His move to GM signals a potential major strategic shift for GM, especially in the wake of its decision to shutdown Cruise.With Mr. Anderson's background in autonomy, software-defined vehicles, and hardware integration from his time at Tesla and Aurora, the hire suggests GM may be quietly rebuilding its autonomy strategy. Whether this positions him as a future CEO candidate or simply as the architect of GM's next-generation vehicle roadmap, it's a development that we will be following on Autonomy Markets.Episode Chapters0:00 Sterling Anderson Joins GM3:34 The Impact of Sterling's Departure on Aurora5:53 Uber's Autonomy Investments7:16 Aurora, a Company in Crisis13:04 Kodiak15:30 Bot Auto17:45 Wayve / Uber Partnership21:58 WeRide's Hong Kong IPO22:46 Waymo's Lingering Zeekr Problem25:27 Waymo's NHTSA Recall27:18 Waymo Road Trips28:47 Is Waymo Expanding Too Quickly?30:10 Could NHTSA Delay Tesla's June Robotaxi Launch?33:38 Market Perception of Tesla FSD36:29 Unforced Error of The Week38:40 Next WeekRecorded on Thursday, May 15, 2025--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.

Evangelos Marinakis is still making headlines as Nottingham Forest released a statement on social media about the seriousness of Taiwo Awoniyi's injury suffered at the weekend. But does it provide a suitable reason for him storming the pitch after the 2-2 draw with Leicester? Elsewhere, Everton are allowing Goodison Park to keep hosting football. The club have confirmed their women's team is set to play their games at the iconic ground, but is the news as good as it seems? And finally, Manchester United have revealed that they won't host a trophy parade if they win the Europa League. Instead, a low-key barbecue at the training ground will be held as Jim Ratcliffe continues to penny pinch. All that and more discussed on today's FSD!

This episode of Geared Up dives into the state of Apple Intelligence and the larger implications of Apple's AI strategy - but that's just the beginning. Jon Rettinger and Andru Edwards open with a passionate breakdown of why Apple’s long-awaited foray into AI has become one of its most disappointing product efforts to date. With features like Genmoji and writing assistance that feel underwhelming, and more ambitious tools like Siri’s personal context still missing in action, they argue Apple has lost its AI credibility, and possibly its lead in consumer trust. But that’s only part of the show. The conversation expands to a fascinating look at the latest iPhone 17 hardware leaks, including the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air and the controversial new visor design. What are the tradeoffs of a 5.5mm thick smartphone? Can Apple maintain battery life and camera quality in such a thin device? John and guest Quinn Nelson dissect what this design direction means, especially for power users and iPhone Max fans. Quinn also shares firsthand insights into the self-driving space with his deep dive into the Comma 3X - a DIY, open-source driving assistant that’s outperforming most built-in systems. He explains how it works, what it’s capable of, and why it represents a fascinating alternative to Tesla’s FSD. This isn’t just theoretical tech - he’s installed it in his Rivian and shares real-world results, strengths, and limitations. Rounding out the episode is an alternate history segment that explores a tantalizing what-if: what if Apple had bought Android in 2005? The discussion considers how mobile tech could have evolved, the role of Samsung, the collapse of competition, and the future of platform control. It’s a blend of speculation and strategy that will fascinate any student of tech history. If you care about smartphones, AI, autonomy, or the decisions that shape the tech industry, this episode packs all of it in. From present-day failures to future visions and speculative histories, it’s one of our most thought-provoking yet.Support the show: http://youtube.com/gearlive/joinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of English football's most iconic occasions is almost here, but can Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace or Aston Villa make history on FA Cup semi-final weekend? Wembley plays host to our final four, of which 3 are looking to do something Man City are very familiar with, and that's make a major final. Can Palace win their first FA Cup ever? Can Forest complete a dream season? Can Emery bring Villa glory again? Or will City do what they always do? Niall and Marley look to answer those questions on this episode of FSD.

FSD is back after the Easter break and there's a lot to discuss, with two new (or should that be old) names securing their top flight status for next season, as Burnley and Leeds secured promotion over the weekend. But with Leicester joining Southampton by dropping on Saturday, how do the Whites and the Clarets survive next season? Elsewhere, Manchester City recorded a huge last-gasp win over Aston Villa on Tuesday night, thanks to the much-maligned Matheus Nunes' 94th minute winner. Will they finish in the Champions League places after a bizarre season? Niall and Marley are on hand to discuss all that and more, including the confirmation that we will see a South coast derby next season, partly thanks to Mr and Mrs Murphy having a fumble 30 years ago...

Tesla (TSLA) shares remained mostly unchanged despite a top and bottom line miss, thanks to better-than-expected gross margins and an on-track FSD timeline. While the company faces near-term headwinds from tariffs and supply chain issues, its energy storage business shined.

Today we're talking about the Tesla Takedown protest movement, which has emerged as a way for people to express how deeply unhappy they are with Elon Musk installing himself as a not-so-shadow president who is tearing the federal government apart, leaving confusion and destruction in his wake. Tesla's stock price is sinking, new car registrations and down, and hype around the company is fading rapidly. There's an opportunity there for the protestors, and I asked Ed Niedermeyer on the show to help me pull it all apart.
