Tesla is currently in beta everywhere, not just SF. Tesla is taking the path of improving the technology with driver monitoring, rather than focusing on getting a single city to label them as 'L4'
- AlotOfReading 5y agoTesla FSD can't operate without a driver and isn't doing commercial rideshare, so it's not relevant in this discussion of a permit to operate a driverless commercial fleet in SF.
- gitfan86 5y agoGeorge brought it up in the thread and you responded to him. Tesla and Comma.AI are building the exact same technology. Are you saying that we shouldn't discuss these other companies until they have a permit for SF driving?
- AlotOfReading 5y agoGeorge asked why this announcement of the first permit to operate a driverless, commercial fleet is progress, citing Tesla. Unless Tesla has a commercial, driverless fleet somewhere, I'm not sure I understand the objection here. Having the permits to do those things in SF is literally the progress.
- gitfan86 5y agoThere isn't an objection. There is a question. Can the public see videos of this? If not, why not?
- AlotOfReading 5y agoWaymo has been doing commercial driverless ops in Chandler for 4-5 years now, so you can absolutely see videos of that. You just can't see it in SF because until this announcement no one has had the permit to do it commercially, Tesla included.
- gitfan86 5y agoThere must have been some sort of testing period and approval process that involved showing the cars are safe? Why can't you see that until after this official announcement?
