📦 The future of self-driving, India's solar mission, Cybertruck's work potential

We're getting into a time where "no hands on the steering wheel" isn't just a joke anymore. Driverless cars are here, and they might even be better drivers than us. Just ten days after landing on the moon, India is now aiming for the sun! Best of luck to them on this incredible space journey. Oh, and the Cybertruck? It's still being tested, this time as a work truck. Any guesses on how that will turn out?
