Google is going for a cars as a service business, Tesla is going for a cars as a product business.

That means that Google is happy with cars that only work most of the time, and only goes to some routes, as long as they are fully authonomous and reliable when they work.

Tesla, by its side, is happy with cars that are not fully autonomous, as long as they work every time, and can go to any route.

Of course their products are different, and they'll not become alike if none of them change their business.
