- Tesla's in-cabin driver camera failed to stop a woman from falling asleep at the wheel at approximately 100 km/h (60 mph), per the episode's review of three Tesla camera articles
- Tesla's app code reportedly reveals the cabin camera will be used to verify the driver before FSD engages
- Tesla's Cybercab is reportedly being mass-produced even though the car allegedly can't currently be sold or drive itself
- Wisk Aero, backed by Boeing, faces a lawsuit from a former employee who alleges they were wrongfully terminated for reporting software concerns
- The reported Wisk software issues allegedly could have held up the first flight of the company's 6th-generation autonomous eVTOL air taxi
Why it matters: The cabin-camera gap matters for Tesla because the system is being positioned as a safety gate for FSD, yet a driver bypassed it at highway speed — undermining that marketing case. For Wisk, a former-employee suit alleging suppressed software concerns is an early indicator of safety-process risk ahead of the company's first public eVTOL flight.
