Waymo works pretty damn well.
- jahnu 2y agoSure! I would love to try that too. I was referring to Tesla. They never had a fully or nearly fully working system that they could iterate on.
- simiones 2y agoIt does in certain strictly determined conditions + human assistance. But the point Tesla didn't go through "FSD with ultrasonic + lidar + cameras", and then start to reduce the sensors. They went from "no FSD" to "broken non-working FSD, but now only with cameras". That is not how you strip down a working product to reduce costs.
- vardump 2y agoTesla does use lidars for validation: https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/2125/tesla-vehicles-spotted-with-lidar-what-do-they-use-it-for https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/2125/tesla-vehicles-spotte...
- consteval 2y agoWaymo has sensors but they don't sense purely in real-time. Meaning the roads are mapped out in detail ahead of time. This is fine and effective, but it makes the comparison not really fair. A human driver will do splendidly in an area they've never been before, whereas a Waymo taxi won't.
