Lets be honest here. If Tesla had invested the waste majority of their efforts on 1 city, not having to deal with all the problems of broken line markings, crazy signs, signs in different language, driving threw fog at night, driving mountains roads, driving country side in China and so on.
Could the Tesla software do what Waymo does? Specially if you map out the whole city? I would argue it could.
I agree that Tesla is quite far away, but in terms of a general solution for waste majority of the world, Tesla is the closest.
- ilaksh 6y agoI believe so. Because if it was one city then they could iron out all the edge cases there. And even with all the places it's deployed now, it is starting to get close. But personally I think that Waymo is going to be a bit safer because it has the LIDAR which even if you don't think that matters, it can definitely see farther because of its position above the car. And I think that Waymo will be deployed in several cities by the end of 2021 or 2022 at least. And I think it's great to have competition. Cruise will also probably be able to deploy. But Tesla probably will force them to build systems that require less stringent mapping so they can add cities quickly.
