Waymo's approach to autonomy, and robotaxi service, are both very different from Tesla's concept of a plan for general purpose autonomous driving plus an AirBnB-like taxi fleet.
In addition to what will turn out to be a foolish fixation on cameras as the only sensor, Tesla FSD hasn't got nearly as much mapping data, or real-time traffic data which Waymo can source from Google Maps, or in-vehicle monitoring of passengers and vehicle condition.
Elon has his online claque for distorting reality. But reality is still there. That's why Elon wants to buy the whole government to get bigger reality-denial tools.
