  1. Tesla extends Austin Robotaxi hours to midnight as FSD v15 targets round-the-clock service

    Tesla has again extended its Austin Robotaxi service window, moving the end of operations from 10pm in August and 11pm about two weeks ago to midnight, according to IT之家, which also cites an X user sharing an in-app notice telling riders they can book until midnight. Tesla AI vice president Ashok Elluswamy said FSD v15 will support round-the-clock Robotaxi operations and is planned to roll out to the entire Robotaxi fleet this month, with the report saying the version scales its neural network from roughly 1 billion to 10 billion parameters. The Austin fleet now exceeds 300 vehicles after more than 100 Cybercabs were added, with Dallas the next planned market, while NHTSA has opened an inquiry into reports of Robotaxis speeding in school zones involving about 1,000 Model Y and Cybercab vehicles; the four listed incidents caused no crashes or injuries and the agency has not decided on a formal investigation.

  2. NHTSA reviews Tesla robotaxi school-zone speeding claim

    NHTSA has opened a defect petition review into claims that Tesla robotaxis exceeded posted speed limits in active school zones, covering roughly 1,000 vehicles with no reported crashes, injuries or fatalities. The petition, received 23 September and opened for review 9 October, covers 2026 model year Robotaxi, Model Y and Cybercab vehicles and supplied three video links as evidence, according to Business Insider. Those are the same 1,000 vehicles already under a separate NHTSA inquiry into how Tesla certified the Cybercab, which has no steering wheel, pedals or mirrors and which the company signed off itself; neither matter is yet a full investigation and no deadline has been set. Speeding also blocks Tesla's bid for EU-wide approval of its driver-assistance software: Germany wants the system held to 10% above the limit, the Dutch-approved version reportedly permits up to 50% over the detected limit, and France and Sweden have raised concerns, with the October vote not held and December now the earliest.

  3. Reddit user adds AMD GPU to Toyota to run openpilot; comma.ai faces NHTSA probe

    A Reddit user fitted an AMD Radeon RX 9060 graphics card into a 2021 Toyota Alphard so comma.ai's open-source openpilot could run an end-to-end model locally and drive hands-off on the highway; the post claims 21.4 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, an ~880M-parameter model called Chestnut and performance on par with Tesla's HW4, none of which has been independently verified. Separately, the U.S. NHTSA opened an investigation last month into comma.ai's aftermarket driver-assistance hardware — comma three, 3X and comma four — and the openpilot software, covering roughly 30,000 vehicles, with public records citing five serious highway collisions that killed three people and injured 11. Founded by George Hotz, comma.ai open-sourced openpilot in 2016 under regulatory pressure and has shipped just over 30,000 units in total.
