Tesla approach is so much better financially (leaving aside morality and false promises).
Waymo has sunk billions of dollars with almost 0 return yet.
Tesla has developed FSD basically for free, because people pay for software that isn't there yet, and Tesla doesn't waste money on expensive hardware.

In financial terms you could call that a liability, and you might reasonably expect to have to pay off that liability at some point i.e. delivering functionality people have already paid for! In that framing I would be more careful in framing FSD as a financial success.
- danny_codes 1y agoTesla is a shrinking company with terrible margins. Now that EV credit sales are worthless I don’t see how they’ll be profitable going forward. Waymo is Google, and thus has infinite money. Waymo has a level 4 driving system. FSD is certified as level 2.. so as it currently stands Tesla’s offering is competitive with Mercedes/GM/Ford/BMW’s driver assistance systems. Not really a stunning accomplishment, though certainly it’s a decent showing.

- slaw 1y agoHuawei is better than Tesla according to 'Out of Spec'. Both are level 2. Waymo is level 4. Completely different animal https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VuDSz06BT2g https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VuDSz06BT2g
