24-Hour AI Briefing · November 29, 2025: Windows 11 Breakdown, Tesla Expands Robotaxi Fleet, Apple Clashes With India’s New Competition Law
The past 24 hours delivered a mix of OS stability concerns, autonomous driving expansion, and escalating regulatory tensions. From Microsoft’s system-level issues to Tesla’s push toward operational validation and Apple’s legal confrontation in one of the world’s fastest-growing digital markets, today’s developments reveal how technology, policy, and AI-driven ecosystems are becoming increasingly intertwined.
1. Windows 11 (24H2/25H2) Hit by Major System Crashes; Microsoft Pushes GPT-5.1 and New Labs Features
Commentary: The large-scale crash impacting Windows 11’s 24H2 and 25H2 builds exposes Microsoft’s persistent structural weaknesses in OS quality control. At a time when the company is aggressively integrating AI features—layering Copilot, background services, and now GPT-5.1—the system’s stability has ironically become the most fragile variable.
The simultaneous rollout of GPT-5.1 and the new Labs feature shows Microsoft’s ambition to make AI the core of the Windows experience. But forced integrations raise the same recurring question: is this what users want, or just what Microsoft wants to push?
Regardless of the strategy, AI should never come at the cost of OS reliability.
2. Tesla Plans to Double Its Robotaxi Fleet in Austin from 30 to 60 Vehicles
Commentary: Increasing the fleet from 30 to 60 may look incremental, but the underlying signal is strategic: Tesla is shifting from “small-scale tech demo” to “operational validation.” Technical maturity, regulatory traction, and commercialization rhythm are all entering a new phase.
Even though the fleet size still trails Waymo and Cruise by a wide margin, for Tesla this expansion represents meaningful progress.
However, transparency in FSD safety performance and sustained communication with regulators remain Tesla’s major hurdles in North America.
3. Apple Challenges India’s New Competition Law That Enables Fines Based on Global Revenue
Commentary: India’s decision to shift antitrust penalties from “local revenue” to “global total revenue” is a powerful—and controversial—move.
Under the revised Competition Act, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) can impose fines of up to 10% of a company’s worldwide turnover if it finds abuse of market dominance.
This effectively means global profits could be penalized for local market behavior, a principle Apple argues violates proportionality and international norms of territorial jurisdiction.
Apple is not refusing investigation—it is questioning the legal logic behind the punishment model.
If India applies this standard broadly, how many multinational tech giants would still be willing to operate there? Is this regulatory shift fair, or an overreach?
