# 🔥🚗 After 10 billion miles, people should start seriously considering a question: is it time to han

🔥🚗 After 10 billion miles, people should start seriously considering a question: is it time to hand over the steering wheel to $Tesla(TSLA.US)?

Anyway, I'm already using FSD 99% of the time.

When a company publicly says—

"Let the car drive, because it's safer than a human."

This is no longer product promotion.

This is a watershed moment.

$Tesla(TSLA.US) announced that the FSD system has accumulated over 10 billion miles of driving.

This number itself is already astonishing.

But what's more worth pondering is its underlying meaning.

10 billion miles, not test track data.

Not simulator data.

But real-world roads.

Highways, cities, rain, night, construction zones, complex intersections.

Every mile is learning in a real environment.

Many people still view FSD as "advanced driver assistance."

But when the system scale crosses the threshold of 10 billion miles, it has entered another phase.

Scale begins to translate into quality.

Data is not a simple accumulation.

More real-world scenarios

\= More edge cases

\= Stronger generalization ability

\= More stable decision-making model

This is a self-reinforcing flywheel.

And what really made me stop and think was that comparison:

"Four times safer than human driving."

If this continues to hold true at a larger scale, then the logic will change.

For the past few decades, we've defaulted to:

Human driving as the baseline.

Autonomous driving as the challenger.

Now, the challenger is starting to ask the reverse question:

If the system is safer,

why insist on human control?

This is not a technical problem.

It's a psychological barrier.

When elevators first appeared, people were also afraid of "no one controlling it."

But as safety records accumulate, trust gradually shifts.

Autonomous driving is following the same path.

For $Tesla(TSLA.US), this is not just a technological milestone.

It's the prelude to a commercial inflection point.

When "safer" becomes the consensus—

FSD is no longer an option.

It's the default.

The definition of a car will change.

Driving might, like manual transmission, gradually become a niche skill.

I don't think this means the risks have disappeared.

Edge cases still exist.

Regulation is still being negotiated.

Public opinion is still sensitive.

But 10 billion miles means one thing:

Autonomous driving is no longer in the experimental phase.

It's entering the scale validation phase.

If future statistics continue to prove—

Machines are far more stable than humans,

Then the real question is no longer:

"Can it drive?"

But rather:

"When will people be willing to let go?"

At what point will you completely hand over the steering wheel to the system?

✨ I will continue to share the 10x growth stock opportunities I'm watching, and how I gain insights into the evolution pace of $Tesla(TSLA.US), AI, and autonomous driving.

If you're also thinking about the long-term significance of this transformation, welcome to witness it together.
