Waymo appears to disagree with you, they ran tests with safety drivers and in controlled conditions for a very long time, and they eventually got to the point where there are customers riding in unmanned taxis. Tesla is just applying a "move fast and break things" approach to pedestrians' lives in order to satisfy shareholder interests and executive egos. They're not the only ones, as we saw from Uber's absolutely shameful performance that eventually lead to a death (safety driver involved but not solely responsible, of course)

I was under the impression that while Waymo did some tests unsupervised, most of the rides that non-employees can hail still have a supervisor. Is that not true?
I've seen youtube videos of unsupervised waymo cab rides, and when it got stuck in one they sent techs out to rescue it. It's probably still uncommon.
