I agree it's not the same, but that's sort of my point. Tesla's gone for global usage, with automatic deactivation, whereas Waymo has done a very specific area of roads built in a similar style. It's broad vs deep, is what I mean.
- ra7 3y ago> whereas Waymo has done a very specific area of roads built in a similar style How are steep and hilly roads of San Francisco similar in style to flat, grid-like roads of Phoenix?
- robertlagrant 3y agoWell, for example if you drive in Europe you'll see much narrower roads, way more pedestrians and crossings; all sorts of things.
- ra7 3y agoRight, so what you really mean is urban vs highway driving. In self driving, urban driving is considered much more challenging precisely because of the characteristics you listed. That's why you see Waymo only now dipping into highway driving because the primary taxi market is all inside busy cities.
- robertlagrant 3y ago> Right, so what you really mean is urban vs highway driving No, I don't mean that.
- ra7 3y agoThen I’m afraid you’re unclear because the cities Waymo operates in all have different characteristics and don’t have “similar style of roads”. Driving in SF is very different from driving in Phoenix.
