True Autonomous Driving Means a Car That Only Runs the Routes You Need

Tesla's recently revealed FSD development logic reminds me of a cliché paradox in medical AI implementation: the most all-in-one product isn't necessarily the most practical one. The Cybercab uses the full version of FSD first, while mass-production cars run a streamlined version—behind this strategy lies a term familiar to every product manager: scenario-based trimming. But here's the question: why should the Cybercab be the guinea pig? Don't mass-production car users deserve the full version?

The recently exposed FSD R&D logic at Tesla reminds me of a cliché paradox in deploying medical AI: the most all-in-one product is often not the most practical one. The Cybercab uses the full version of FSD first, while mass-production cars run a streamlined version—behind this strategy lies a term familiar to every product manager: scenario-based trimming. But here's the question: why let the Cybercab be the "guinea pig"? Don't mass-production car users deserve the full version?

The cognitive leap from "full-stack" to "all-scenario"

Many people think Tesla's FSD is a unified software package, HW4 vol…

Having actually run this in warehouses, scenario trimming really works. We build warehouse robots, and the navigation strategies for e-commerce warehouses vs. manufacturing warehouses are completely different; deployment costs can vary by 40%. Mass-production car users don't really need the full version; stability matters more than being all-capable.
