Author Nina Schick says European policy people she talks to remain skeptical that Tesla FSD and Waymo are now a reality, even when shown safety data and videos. She lists what they disbelieve: SpaceX launching bus-sized satellites on 40-storey rockets toward orbital compute, tens of gigawatts of US power coming online in three years, commercial SMRs powering compute, RSI being near, re-industrialization underway, and a Western intelligence supply chain decoupling from China's—irreversible regardless of the 2028 election. She adds the mysterious "Terafab" site, now clearing land, calling it too unbelievable to explain.
