I have no inside knowledge but here are my uninformed guesses about the @Tesla roadster many billionaires have been waiting for for years. It is a controllable wing. People guess that it is for flying. It is, but usually will be in upside down mode. The air jets feed a device and the wing. Faster flowing air on top of a wing increases lift. Put it upside down and it increases downforce. Tesla has a patent that shows the device and how a turbine fan in the frunk sucks so much air out, increasing downforce that it sticks to the ground, even at high speed, like no other automobile can do. NASCAR legend Brett Bodine gave me a ride at high rate of speed to demonstrate how he thinks. A lot of that is about downforce. I guarantee you that if he gives you a demo of his skills you will remember the ride fondly for the rest of your life. But when he is in the trailer he is talking to his team mostly about downforce. What are AI Agents for? To get more downforce so your tires will be pressed strongly into the asphalt they are on. The more downforce, the better. The more fun you are having. The more likely you are to win a race. I got to drive behind this 1959 Jaguar. It was the first one to have disk brakes and won many races, its owner told me. Current value $30 million. All the other billionaires were jealous. So let’s start with jealousy. When I get me first ride in one. I expect the same experience. But on the second ride Grok will say “why don’t you drive, I will help you go faster.” “Or you can tell me to drive this like we were at Daytona.” What does @elonmusk get right? He goes after the little kid in us who wanted to race our Big Wheels with our best friend. The real secret sauce is the variety of different styles of talking a path down the road. Tesla AI team will be showing off a bunch, I predict. Be aware of the Formula 1 mode. It will push the tires to the edge of traction the whole ride around the track the way Brett Bodine did for me. The NPR radio personality in the front seat was screaming the entire time. Since it is a vehicle that will compete with a $450,000 Ferrari. A Ferrari makes love to you at about 120 miles per hour and live gets better every mile above that. The Tesla can do that in its steer by wire steering system. But then you can take your hands off the wheel and the experience turns into a Disneyland ride. But one that is 100x more fun than even Tron in the new Shanghai one is. Inside it will be quiet with a new kind of audio system. One that turns the vehicle into an audio Holodeck. It can turn every centimeter into a virtual audio speaker. I first heard this at Virginia Tech in a cube building its augmented reality department built. It is a very large single room building with 1,600 speakers inside. They put me into a football game and if I closed my eyes I swore I was in a real football game. The audio team has AI that gets about 30 speakers much closer to that than any other vehicle. I won’t be shocked if Elon says that only people who wear glasses in it can drive it. Same rules for F-35 fighter jets. They are wearing @LumusVision displays in front of their eyes. Same as Meta will announce with Qualcomm, who built the chips inside, and Essilor, who owns Oakley that did the design and the production/manufacturing. At least there should be an API so developers can make it all work. If they do the car will turn invisible. You will only see the forest/road around you. OK, OK, the Metas aren’t good enough to do that all today. But they are a big step up and will turn the inside of the cabin into a visual Holodeck as well. So now you have an amusement park ride inside an amusement park ride. I have been shoved off the deck of an aircraft carrier by a steam-driven catapult. Tesla AI will do the same in the Roadster. If you had something like an Apple Vision Pro running Google Genie 3 it could make you believe you were controlling an F-18 instead of driving a robot.
