He wasn't even a fonder of Tesla. He was just a investor that became the CEO. And the tweet below makes me question a lot about him. Doesn't sound like a genius to me. "Lidar and radar reduce safety due to sensor contention. If lidars/radars disagree with cameras, which one wins? This sensor ambiguity causes increased, not decreased, risk. That’s why Waymos can’t drive on highways. We turned off the radars in Teslas to increase safety. Cameras ftw."

Waymo is driving on the 101 in LA

  Tesla’s been doing that for years in SF. There’s only been one fatality on that stretch of the 101 so far. More info on autopilot deaths (59 including 2 FSD): https://www.tesladeaths.com/ https://www.tesladeaths.com/ Waymo’s had one fatality (other driver was at fault), but that’s not normalized by miles driven.

    You can’t compare Tesla and Waymo. Only the latter is truly autonomous.

    I've driven both SF 101 and LA 101, they are not the same thing.

To be fair Tesla was in a very primitive state when he took over.

Yeah, he’s not an engineer. He fools people by regurgitating stuff from actual smart people.
