> Tesla already does fully autonomous driving, they released that video in November. That video, for reference, is: https://www.tesla.com/videos/full-self-driving-hardware-all-tesla-cars https://www.tesla.com/videos/full-self-driving-hardware-all-... I'm not super convinced by that video. That drive had almost no challenges/obstacles. No bicycles, no construction, basically no pedestrians, no other vehicles behaving erratically. Google has cars that can respond to everything from a cyclist making hand signals, to a school bus (which must not be passed), to a police car pulling it over, to a woman chasing a duck across the road: https://youtu.be/tiwVMrTLUWg?t=8m49s https://youtu.be/tiwVMrTLUWg?t=8m49s I'm also not sure this is a simple case of "throw data and hardware at the problem." If it were that easy, it wouldn't have taken Google so long to get to where they are today.

They released a video a month later (3 weeks ago) with a much more challenging route: https://www.tesla.com/videos/autopilot-self-driving-hardware-neighborhood-long?redirect=no https://www.tesla.com/videos/autopilot-self-driving-hardware...

  Again, not to take away by the amazing feat Tesla has achieved, but Google has had similar videos going back 2-3 years, and they are still not ready to release. So either the problem in practice is much harder than a simple video can show, or something else is up. Though, I think the real issue is that google wants to go straight for L5 (meaning 100% automated, and you can remove the steering wheel). As compared to an L4, which is more like 99.9% automated, but you still need steering wheel for those rare edge cases.

I can attest to the police car pulling it over. I saw a little Google car pulled over on the way to the grocery store a month or two ago.
