Waymo uses a learned planner and is far from "hardcoded". In any case, imo both of these can be true: * Tesla FSD works surprisingly well and improving capabilities to hands free actual autonomy isn't as far fetched as one might think. * Waymo beat them to robotaxi deployment and scaling up to multiple cities may not be as hard as people say. It seems that self driving car fans are way too tribal and seem to be convinced that the "other side" sucks and is guaranteed to fail. In reality, it is very unclear as both strategies have their merits and only time will tell in the long run.

" Tesla FSD works surprisingly well and improving capabilities to hands free actual autonomy isn't as far fetched as one might think" Except FSD doesn't work surprisingly well and there is no way it will get as good as Waymo using vision-only. "It seems that self driving car fans are way too tribal and seem to be convinced that the "other side" sucks and is guaranteed to fail." I'm not being tribal, I'm being realistic based on the very public performance of both systems. If Musk was serious about his Robotaxi claims then Tesla would be operating very differently. Instead it is pretty obvious it all a con to inflate Tesla shares beyond all reason.
