They had a falling out with their software supplier Mobileye which set them back a year or more.
- B1FF_PSUVM 9y agoI gathered that Mobileye found that the use of the software was "outside the box" they were willing to risk ...
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoWas it really that much of a setback? It was my understanding they used some of their own software in combination and had already planned to take over the role Mobileye was serving. Maybe I bought too much into their PR spin but it sounded as if it was barely a delay.
- stetrain 9y agoFrom reading owner discussions it seems like the general consensus is that they only just recently reached parity with (and slightly surpassed) their previous Mobileye implementation with their own software/sensor stack.
- Piskvorrr 9y agoDid I just read "they found out that tech is not actually ready to fulfill what its marketing promised", or is that something else?
- Animats 9y agoTwo years ago, Tesla claimed self-driving in two years. Last December, Musk was claiming they need 3 more years.[1] Waymo is currently the only credible player in self-driving. Uber crashed. Volvo backed off. Tesla has problems. Cruise just had one of their cars pulled over and ticketed in SF.[2] Waymo's cautious approach is paying off.
