About Our Full Self Future

Our Full Self Future is a podcast about autonomy and intelligent machines, recorded while autonomous systems are in operation. Each episode explores how self-driving systems, robotics, and autonomous agents actually work, from perception and planning to simulation, hardware constraints, and real world data collection. The show provides technical understanding to semi non technical listeners while staying entertaining and high production. The podcast is company agnostic. We examine different approaches, tradeoffs, and failure modes across the autonomy industry and focus on what it will realistically take to build autonomous systems we can trust.

Episode 3 - Wrapping the Future: The Story of Ji, the Evolution of DIY Wrap Club (Tesbros), and Customizing our Autonomous Future Optimi

In Episode 3 of Our Full Self Future, host Koby Pierce visits the 20,000-square-foot headquarters of DIY Wrap Club in Chattanooga to sit down with its founder, Ji. Formerly known as Tesbros, the company has grown from a bedroom startup into a pillar of the Tesla community, providing DIY vinyl and PPF solutions for owners to protect and personalize their vehicles. The conversation tracks Ji’s journey from teaching video production and journalism at Ole Miss to becoming an early Tesla Model 3 adopter in 2018. Ji discusses the origins of his business—solving the "Model 3 door handle" puzzle with simple labels, pioneering DIY chrome deletes—and how he scaled the company through a deep focus on the community and a "test-it-on-my-wife" approach to product development. Transitioning into the future of autonomy, Ji and Koby discuss the staggering progression of Tesla's autonomous systems, from the early Mobileye Autopilot 1.0 days to the current era of Full Self-Driving. Ji recounts his recent experience using Hardware 4 in the complex, sprawling environment of Los Angeles, noting a massive leap in capability and a widening performance gap between Hardware 3 and Hardware 4 in city driving. The two explore the "safety multiplier" effect of human-supervised autonomy, and how the system acts as a tireless, unblinking co-pilot on long, exhausting drives. Finally, the discussion turns toward the next frontier of customization: the Robotaxi and Tesla Optimus. From the "RoboTaxi" stickers that originally started as a simple customer request to the vision of a "Red Optimus" DIY wrap kit, Ji shares his perspective on how aesthetics, community, and robotics will eventually collide.

Episode 2 - The Terafab Vision: Space Data Centers, AI5, and 10 Billion Optimus Robots with Josh West, Landon of the West, and David Moss

In this episode of Our Full Self Future, host Koby Pierce sits down with a panel of Tesla community leaders—Josh West ( @JoshWest247 [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC2gLwLvZ8CdhYN9ww7O_CZw] ) Landon (Landon of the West), and David Moss—fresh off the Chattanooga Charge event. The group reflects on the unique bond within the Tesla community before diving into the massive technical implications of Elon Musk’s latest announcements regarding the "Terafab." The conversation centers on the convergence of Tesla, xAI, and SpaceX. We break down the roadmap for upcoming silicon, including AI5 and AI6 powering FSD and Optimus, and the mysterious D3 chip designed for space applications. The panel discusses the "iPhone-like" annual release cycle for AI hardware and the staggering rumors of 144GB of RAM per SOC in the next generation of vehicles. A major highlight of the discussion is the potential for distributed inference—the idea that your parked Tesla could act as a node in a global supercomputer for xAI’s Grok or digital Optimus. We weigh the benefits of vehicle owners earning passive income against the engineering hurdles of power draw, thermal management, and the "sauna garage" effect. Finally, we look toward the stars, debating the feasibility of space-based data centers powered by Starship and the "rail gun on the moon" concept. From Hardware 3’s mysterious "pre-mapped" reversing capabilities to the scale of producing 10 billion Optimus units a year, this episode explores how close we truly are to a sci-fi reality.

Episode 1 - Coast to Coast on Cameras: Autonomy, LiDAR, and Hardware 3 with David Moss

In Episode 1 of Our Full Self Future, the host is joined by David Moss, a professional LiDAR salesman, FSD super-user. The conversation takes place while driving through Lexington, Kentucky at night using Tesla Full Self-Driving on Hardware 3. The episode centers on the irony of a LiDAR professional who has driven nearly 12,000 intervention-free miles using a vision-only autonomous system. David discusses his coast-to-coast drive, his upcoming Cannonball Run attempt, and his goal of driving Full Self-Driving in all 50 U.S. states. Beyond the technical debate of LiDAR versus vision, the conversation explores the human motivation behind autonomy. David shares how his father recently went blind, changing his view of autonomous driving from a technical novelty into a tool for independence and accessibility. Technical topics include SLAM, data density, scalability, Hardware 3 versus Hardware 4 limitations, retrofitting challenges, and Full Self-Driving version 14 behavior. The episode also covers why parking lots may be the final major challenge for consumer autonomy and how new occupancy networks and agent-based systems could help solve it.  Watch the video version here: https://rss.ourfullselffuture.com/Our-Full-Self-Future-Podcast-Episode1-David-Moss.mp4 ---  Filmed inside of a HW3 Model 3.  Drive Metrics: 20.2 miles driven 20.2 miles on Full Self-Driving 0 driving disengagements 1 parking disengagement (manual intervention to reverse out of a parking spot) 6.8 kWh used

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
