why don't they'd partner with Waymo? They can build the cars and collect the data, while Waymo can provide the ML expertise. I'm sure Tesla+Waymo would be a hit among a certain type of crowd.
- Filligree 8y agoWaymo seems to be doing just fine on their own. I'm not sure they feel they need any partnership. They just ordered some 30,000-ish cars, so it would seem they're entering the mass-production phase.

Waymo has 145.[1] [1] https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/08/a-tesla-self-driving-blind-spot-that-few-are-focusing-on.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/08/a-tesla-self-driving-blind-s...
