Is this a surprise to anyone? To me it seems that Waymo is the furthest along when it comes to actual full self driving, and those are heavily geofenced and just looking at the car it's clear they have far more sensors onboard than what Tesla's have. This is not to mention that companies like Waymo and Cruise focus exclusively on self driving whereas Tesla also has the overhead of worrying about building the car itself (and the obligatory "all the other shit Musk dreams up")
- pplante 3y agoI'm not surprised, we've been extending Musk's delivery dates for years. That said, I have a 2020 mX with FSD on v11.3. I use FSD almost every time I drive and am very familiar with its abrupt failure modes and capabilities. I had a newer loaner mX last week that had v12 FSD and it was a huge leap forward compared to my daily driver. So while I have zero expectations that the robotaxi is coming this year, their reliance on vision only seems to be working fine as they continue to refine the system. Waymo has a lot more sensors that I feel will someday be unnecessary.
- drewnick 3y agoJust got the v12 upgrade. I can now do door to door drives with zero interventions about half the time. Whereas before I had to take over at least once every drive, typically at intersections. Still a long way off from robotaxi but this version does give me hope it’s possible.
