Many entities have released cherry-picked marketing videos of autonomy appearing to work perfectly under controlled conditions. About as convincing as TV commercials for supermarket deodorant that link use of their product to sexual desirability. Whether Tesla is ahead or far behind others, they're the only ones exposing their technology to unsupervised assessment by independent third parties in uncontrolled, adversarial conditions. On the other hand Waymo have real, productive, actually driverless cars operating within geofenced areas right now. How do you compare the two? Anyone who claims to know which of the two is "ahead" is either smuggling in unstated qualifiers, or they're blowing smoke.
