* Waymo not Waze
* Operates in a tiny geographically fenced area
* Despite success, has not expanded to any new areas or rolled out any further.
* As a consumer, I have no access to buy Waymo, but I can buy at least the current implementation of Tesla Autopilot.
- rtpg 5y agoTesla autopilot is not a comparable product though! It operates nowhere at Waymo capacity. My understanding is that Tesla is extremely behind on these fronts compared to Waymo, and that gap keeps widening every day. I know who I would bet on
- majic 5y agoBut they aren't trying to solve the same problem. I believe Waymo works better in a pre scanned area, where there are no construction sites or major changes, but in a general context you can atleast attempt to use Autopilot, which you can't with Waymo. Thus I would not say that Waymo is miles better.
- Vvector 5y agoWaymo believes that the the roads need to be fully 3d mapped, with crosswalks, street lights and signs before their car can autopilot safely on it. More mapping will happen if/when the AI autopilot is ready.
