I don’t understand how Tesla is continuing to ride so high on a borderline-vaporware robotaxi when Waymo is so far ahead.

[mensetmanusman]

Hmm, buddy with a new Model Y in the Midwest has driven less than 5 miles while putting in over 1500 miles.

Waymo doesn’t exist here.

[thelastparadise]

Are you saying the robot drive him 1495mi?

[mensetmanusman]

Used fsd 12.4/5 or whatever for that mileage yes.

[blackeyeblitzar]

They’re solving different problems. Waymo works in only some areas and requires all sorts of hardware. Tesla FSD is trying to do something more generalized.

[imtringued]

I don't know what you are talking about. Tesla FSD is trying to do exactly the same thing, but they are struggling to do get it to work at all.

[blackeyeblitzar]

No, Tesla is trying to create human like FSD. As in without relying on pre scanned pre vetted areas, and with (ideally) just two vision sensors like a human.

It's not a zero sum game.

[jacobjjacob]

No, but I don’t think its clear that Tesla deserves its valuation at its current rate. They aren’t demonstrating any competitive advantage or particular skill in the space vs Waymo

[KoolKat23]

All that means is people are paying too much for their shares in the business on the market, it doesn't mean Tesla don't have the financial or technical ability to deliver self driving cars
