In this episode of The Brainstorm, Sam and Brett unpack Tesla’s Cybercab launch, a two-seat vehicle with no steering wheel and no pedals that Brett believes can operate at roughly 25 cents a mile, a level at which Waymo may not be able to stay gross profitable. They settle the debate over why Tesla would sell Cybercabs at all instead of owning the fleet outright, and what a 4.5x jump in robotaxi app users on the back of a deliberately low key event says about demand at half the price of an Uber. Then the team turns to OpenAI’s Astra, the model release behind a solution to Navier-Stokes, and why Brett thinks the closed frontier labs eating their own caviar are pulling away from open weight models rather than converging with them. Plus Apple’s folding iPhone Duo, which neither host is buying, and why they believe the Apple Watch is the more interesting announcement.
