According to Sawyer Merritt, Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature is poised for significant adoption growth over the next 12-18 months as user reliance on AI-powered autonomous driving increases and existing owners become more aware of its capabilities (source: Sawyer Merritt via Twitter). This trend highlights the growing market potential for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and AI-driven mobility solutions. Businesses in the automotive AI sector can capitalize on this surge by developing complementary technologies, such as sensor integrations and data analytics platforms, to support the rapid expansion of autonomous vehicle adoption.

According to @slotkinjr, as highlighted by @JeffDean, an analysis of Waymo's AI-powered autonomous vehicles demonstrates significantly better safety outcomes compared to human drivers. If every vehicle in the U.S. matched Waymo's safety performance, it could prevent 33,000 to 39,000 road deaths annually and save $0.9 to $1.25 trillion in societal costs. Even partial adoption at 27% market share could save around 10,000 lives per year. This analysis underscores the transformative business and public health impact of AI-driven autonomous driving technology, presenting substantial opportunities for growth and investment in the AI mobility sector (Source: @slotkinjr via X, 2025).
