BYD probes distrust of Tesla FSD with promise of full compensation for self-driving accidents

Tesla has delayed plans to unveil its next-generation Roadster again, pushing the schedule to after August as development linked to SpaceX thruster technology takes longer than expected. The company is also pursuing sensor reliability, including a patent for a camera system that cleans its own lens. Debate continues over the safety of unsupervised driving and compensation for self-driving accidents, as rivals such as BYD, XPeng and Rivian accelerate development and responsibility frameworks.

Mobility hot issues: Tesla beats expectations despite AI and robotics burden; Sony-Honda EV exit

Tesla reported first-quarter results that beat market expectations despite concerns about slowing electric vehicle demand. Revenue rose to $22.39 billion from a year earlier, while expanded capital spending focused on AI and robotics is adding to financial pressure. The company also faces controversy over cash flows, putting the balance between growth strategy and profitability in focus. Separately, Sony Group and Honda decided to effectively suspend their EV joint venture, and GM halted plans for a next-generation revamp of large electric pickups and SUVs.
