Elon says that Tesla will soon have a chat GPT moment in self-driving cars
"Yes, so I think Tesla is going to play an important role in AI and AGI. And I think I need to oversee that to make sure it's good. So because that's a thorny problem if there ever was one. I think generally, people do not -- very few people, even in the AI community, do not appreciate just how much capability Tesla has in AI. It's by far the most advanced real-world AI. There's no one even close. And reality has the most degrees of freedom. So I got to make sure that's good. We will have a launch event and we'll explore the issues in more detail. But I should say that...Tesla has actually tremendous capability in real-world AI. Yes. In fact, it is. Very far ahead of anyone. I don't know. People do talk about it online. I think Tesla will have a chat GPT moment maybe if not this year, I'd say no later than next year. You're gonna have a sort of chat GPT moment. Suddenly 3 million cars will be able to drive themselves with no one, and then 5 million cars and then 10 million cars."
I'll rely in the mainstream media calling it a ChatGPT moment, Google trends, how other automakers and tech companies react, demand for Tesla's cars, and my personal judgement to determine if Tesla has a ChatGPT moment. ChatGPT was launched in Nov 30th 2022 and I think it took some time to acknolwege how big the cultural impact was, therefore I will wait until February 2025 to close this market. I can close this markets to YES early.
If Tesla announcement is made in early 2025, it doesn't count.

I agree with no.
Found a couple of refs suggesting 'getting close' to Tesla CGP moment or could be 'within months' but these can easily be interpreted to mean more like 'not here yet'. I didn't find anything really suggesting it had already happened. Couple shown below.
The service not launched yet, maybe a small trial in Austin not earlier than ~June 2025, likely expanding after that. As it is not launched yet, then I suggest it is very hard for it to have had cultural impact in 2024.
Disclosure: I do have a no position.

"With this launch, I believe we are close to the 'ChatGPT moment' for robotaxis, when they will truly take off and become part of our mainstream transport landscape," Crijn Bouman, co-founder and CEO of Rocsys

The world does not know and recognize it yet but within months the ChatGPT moment for Tesla will arrive and then people will recognize the world changing has started.
