My understanding is that Waymo is applying specialized centimeter-scale mapping and lidar to achieve superior results.
In contrast, Tesla is using dumb cameras and just dumping boatloads of data into their model. It’s a more general solution. Maybe the reference doesn’t fit perfectly - the model architecture is likely similar under the hood - but there’s some analogy there.

They have an extremely sophisticated AI/ML stack and simulators. Start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_wGhKBjH_U&t=2135s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_wGhKBjH_U&t=2135s
