  Compare Chris Urmson's SXSW talk from 2016 about Google's system.[1] Look carefully at the graphics which show what the sensors are detecting, and compare with Tesla's.

    Tesla want a system that works all the time, even if that means it kills some pedestrians once in a while. Waymo want a system that has a zero accident rate, even if that means it can't operate in the rain.
