Can they really do it? Tesla is making steady progress and has reached a few new milestones recently.

They recently launched their Robotaxi service in Austin, and it seems to be as good as Waymo or better. https://youtu.be/RcaBZenrCCs

They also recently autonomously delivered a car to a customer’s apartment straight from the factory line. https://youtu.be/lRRtW16GalE

Still only classified as Level 2 autonomy --- which requires constant supervision. This is according to Tesla itself.

Tesla also backs that up with actions since all of the robotaxis are supervised by a dude in the front seat that can abort the drive if the level 2 self-driving goes bonkers.

Supervision wasn't part of the original fantasy/sales pitch and calls into question their stated value proposition for competing with Uber and Waymo.
