GROK JUST CHANGED TESLA CARS FOREVER

Herbert Ong and Jeff Lutz speak on the recent changes made by Tesla to improve the owners self driving experience by incorporating Grok. This is incorporating AI to make a major improvement to self driving cars. It’s a big deal and will change how we go places in the future.

Tesla dropped a new software update. It’s going to allow you to use Grok to more easily drive you to places that you want to go. This is even more deeply integrated than it has been before. So, if you want to go somewhere, just ask Grok right in the car to navigate you there. And if you want to stop in the bank on the way to pick up money, just say it and Grok will do all the work. Ask any question you want about the trip or destination or anything really. So like I said, I think it’s a real game changer, especially when it’s paired with self-driving. I think this is going to drive more sales of the car. I think this feature alone will go viral and drive sales. I think when you have natural language meeting control of a two or three ton machine, this is where engineering and AI join. This is incredible to watch real time. They show us two videos to reveal exactly what it means. Let’s start with the first one. Thanks to Nick Cruz for sharing this one. Nick to Grok: Please navigate me to Scotia Bank Arena. Grok: All right, navigating to Scotia Bank Arena in Toronto. It’s 36 miles away. Nick: Along the way, I need to take out some cash. Can you stop at a bank? Grok: Got it. Added an RBC ATM on Brock Street North in Whitby as your bank stop. It’s open 24/7 and just adds straight to Scotia Bank. Nick: I’m feeling kind of hungry. Is there a McDonald’s along the way you can stop at? Grok: Added a McDonald’s on Taton Road East in Whitby as your next stop after the ATM. We’ll hit it quick then to Scotia Bank Arena by around 2:08 a.m. Nick: Is there parking near Scotia Bank Arena? Grok: Yes, there’s Scotia Bank Arena L 229 right at 50 Bay Street in Toronto. Open . It’ll be your spot when we arrive. Nick: Can you put that as the final destination? Grok: Done. swap the final stop to Scotia Bank Arena Lock 229 at 50 Bay Street. Still arriving around 2:08 a.m. after the ATM and McDonald’s. Nick: Thank you. Grok: You’re welcome. Safe travels.

This blog is about helping people discover God and His love for them. He loves them so much He sent His son Jesus to save them. How amazing is that. As well, I want to alert people to the fact that we are living in the time Biblical prophecy reveals that Jesus is about to return to Earth to rapture the Saints prior to pouring our His wrath upon an unrepentant world and finally to rescue Israel and restore righteousness.

Why have I posted on driverless cars? I was so amazed that knowledge has increased to this extent and I was reminded of the following Scripture from Daniel. This scripture was written over two thousand years ago.

But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Daniel 12:4

EVERYTHING THAT MOVES WILL BE ROBOTICS AND EVERYTHING THAT MOVES WILL BE AI DRIVEN

This is what is ahead says Jensen Hwang and Elon Musk and they are not wrong. Are we ready for this?

Elon Musk and Jensen Huang have officially joined forces in shaping the next era of AI dominance. NVIDIA’s new Blackwell chip isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a revolution, redefining what machines can learn, build, and become. Musk is betting Tesla’s future on it, investing in a million GPUs to power full self-driving and humanoid robots at scale. Huang, meanwhile, says we’re only scratching the surface. In this video, They break down how NVIDIA’s unstoppable hardware is fuelling Musk’s AI empire, how this alliance could reshape robotics and automation, and whether humanity is ready for the power they’re unleashing.

This is all leading to the Mark of the Beast when you will not be able to buy or sell without this mark. Think about it, Jesus disciple, John, in the book of Revelation revealed this over 2000 years ago.

Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.Revelation 16:16-17

DRIVERLESS ROBOTAXI’S IN 70 DAYS

In the USA Tesla’s driverless taxi’s (Robotaxi) without safety driver will be a reality in Austin, Texas in 70 days.

It should be remembered that Waymo launched the world’s first fully self-driving ride-hailing service in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2018. With ongoing advancements in technology and partnerships with automotive companies, Waymo continues to shape the future of transportation with its innovative and safe autonomous driving solutions.

Now that Tesla has approval and the ability to roll out thousands of Robotaxis as well as use existing Tesla vehicles where the owner is prepared to have their car used in Tesla’s taxi fleet, driverless cars will be a common sight in many US cities.

A WORLD IN CRISIS: GOVERNMENT DEBT OUT OF CONTROL AND WORKPLACE CHAOS IMMINENT

One week from tomorrow, Elon Musk and Tesla will hold its “We, Robot” event

It’s expected that the company will reveal its first dedicated robotaxi. This is being heralded as a “game changer” for the future of autonomous transportation.

“We, Robot” is expected to be a watershed moment for Tesla wherein the company introduces its first dedicated robotaxi, tentatively called the “Cybercab.” Tesla is also expected to showcase groundbreaking advancements in Full Self-Driving (FSD) software and artificial intelligence as the company pushes toward a future where human drivers are obsolete.

At the heart of this transportation revolution is a convenient, driverless ride at a fraction of the cost of traditional services. If it’s everything it’s cracked up to be, this will send ripples throughout the automotive, technology, and investment sectors.

Consider what a rollout of Tesla’s robotaxi would mean… With the tap of a button, you can have a car at your disposal, 24/7, at a much lower all-in cost than owning a car (or purportedly, calling an Uber).

Today, car ownership can be a major financial burden. AAA reports that last year, the average annual cost to own and operate a car in the U.S. was about $10,000. A fully autonomous, reliable, ever-present robotaxi would enable consumers to save thousands of dollars by eliminating the need for car ownership.

Yes, there will be plenty of Americans who will still want their own. But if you’re one of the 66.2% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck today (according to MarketWatch in August), are you not going to seriously consider letting go of your car to free up thousands of dollars per year?

According to a 2022 study by McKinsey & Co., 25% to 30% of urban dwellers would consider using shared autonomous vehicles as their main transportation mode if it were widely available. And if 25% to 30% of Americans decide to stop buying cars, get ready for a financial earthquake.

First and obviously, we have the major car manufacturers that would be rocked by this size of a reduction in auto demand. We’re talking unprecedented disruption that would require a business-model pivot, and potentially, enormous layoffs.

Cars are parked 95% of the time. If you’re merely “renting” your car, when you’re done with it, it speeds away to service someone else. Such collective ownership of cars will radically explode car efficiency, reducing how many are needed, which would impact how many workers are required. Also, you do not need a garage at home or at work.

Now, consider the knock-on effects… With 25% to 30% fewer drivers (at the beginning – expect this percentage to grow), what happens to the auto insurance industry? According to Benzinga, U.S. auto insurance premiums amount to more than $308 billion per year. So, what happens with far fewer car owners? Do we lose loads of related insurance jobs? Or does the insurance model switch from vehicle coverage to some sort of ride-based individual coverage? What would be the impact on business models?

Next, what about car mechanics and chain repair shops?

What happens when autonomous driving hits our trucking industry? In the U.S., that’s a $216 billion market with roughly 3.5 million drivers. Think “robotrucks” might be disruptive there?

Now, consider the investment implications, good and bad… What will be the impact of all this on the share prices of not just Tesla, but Ford… Alphabet (which owns Waymo, another autonomous driving company)… Uber… Insurance companies… Auto parts manufacturers, and retailers, the list goes on and on… And what about the stocks of the companies that make the components for Tesla’s fleet or robotaxis? All the sensors and semiconductor chips? The plastics? The electronic circuitry?

It is all about technology replacing the need for humans. In 2013, Amazon used about 1,000 robots in its warehouses. Last year, that number clocked in at 750,000 and the savings have been incredible. The warehouses work 24 hours a day non-stop and seven days a week.

Think about the coming impact of AI and automation on, well, everything… It’s already affecting jobs for customer service agents… paralegals and legal assistants… accountants… medical diagnosticians… radiologists… financial analysts… journalists… recruiters… insurance underwriters… and marketing specialists… to name a few. Should we expect it to stop?

It will lead to a chaotic workplace as shown by the International Longshoremen’s Association strike that began yesterday, with dockworkers demanding assurances that the United States Maritime Alliance will never replace human workers with automation? As well, the Screen Actors Guild/Writers Guild of America strikes in 2023, wherein Hollywood workers demanded protection from the rising capabilities of artificial intelligence. Unions will not stop the use of AI and robots and lawlessness and chaos will erupt across cities.

In Matthew 24:12, Jesus told his disciples what will unfold in the end times before He returns to Earth. He says, “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold”. Christians know what is coming and we need to use Biblical end-times prophecies to evangelize the lost. As these end times prophecies are fulfilled, people will realise God is real and the Bible is God’s word.
