  • Elon Musk targets ending Tesla robotaxi safety monitors by year-end, expanding to 8-10 new markets
    October 22, 2025, 9:02 PM EDT. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company aims to remove safety monitors from robotaxis in large parts of Austin by year-end and to launch a robotaxi service in 8-10 new markets before the end of 2025. The plan envisions a cautious expansion, with safety monitors still in the initial launches in new markets and a kill switch retained for safety. Musk named Nevada, Florida, and Arizona among potential expansion states, though regulators could slow progress. Current deployments in Austin and San Francisco rely on on-board monitors, while Tesla cites miles driven-hundreds of thousands in Austin and more than a million in San Francisco-as proof of progress amid ongoing scrutiny of robotaxi safety.

    October 22, 2025, 8:58 PM EDT. Netflix's Ted Sarandos signaled an enthusiastic embrace of AI and GenAI tools to boost advertising, product, and even content production, citing an investor letter about empowering creators. Yet he cautioned that Netflix isn't chasing novelty, insisting "it takes a great artist to make something great." The industry's stance splits: Hollywood largely opposes what the tech giants are doing, while Netflix-a longtime disruptor-leans into new tech but remains beholden to talent deals with WME and others. The tension is sharp for Netflix: appease investors with AI optimism while its high-profile filmmakers-like Guillermo del Toro, who opposes AI-warn against giving tech too much influence. The result is a delicate balancing act as Netflix navigates partnerships and its AI strategy amid a wider industry debate.
