Tesla grows Robotaxi fleet by 50%, Einride gets a partner, and China goes BIG18 aug11 min

On this second consecutive self-steering episode of Quick Charge, we take a look at how Tesla increased its national self-driving Robotaxi fleet by half with the stroke of a pen, and see how the company's autonomous deployments compare to the rest of the world's.

We've also got some news from autonomous freight and logistics experts Einride, who have Level 4 autonomous heavy trucks operating in Europe and, more recently, Ohio – but they're just scratching the surface, because China has literally THOUSANDS of fully autonomous ultra heavy haul trucks operating in mines, today.

You can check those out in the source articles linked, below, then let us know what you think how the hype stacks up against reality in the comments.
