Brian Wang 2026 is the year Tesla AI starts to get to significant scale for robotaxi, optimus teslabot and using XAI Grok 5+ for voice and other early AGI capabilities. World’s first fully autonomous coast-to-coast drive, done with Tesla self-driving v14. December 31, 2025 at 12:18 pm I agree with you, Brian. An entirely new market will open up when robotaxis/cybercabs become so easy to book and use – combined with lower costs than owning your own vehicle – that Tesla will start dominating the auto transport market from a minority position, similar to Apple dominating the cell phone market. Public transport and deliveries and elderly/disabled transport will all change. My question is how quickly will trust and behavior modification come? How quickly will Tesla overcome mental resistance from the general population? Charging infrastructure plus government regulation are the wildcards. I wonder how X.com – the everything app plus Grok – will smooth the transition with an incredibly frictionless payment system? Hit a button on your cell phone to input a destination, and a car arrives within 5 minutes and the payment is handled automatically. Mindless ease of use will be important for widespread adoption. I’m glad Waymo has been preparing the way…
