Given Waymo are just now able to go on the highway which Tesla's have been doing for years they are already way ahead. Waymo won't exist this time next year they can't compete on scaling and price.
- inkysigma 11mo agoIf the standard for "going on the highway" is whatever Tesla is doing, then Waymo was able to go on highways in 2010 under the Chaffeur project. It turns out though that the reliability of actually being driverless is a pretty big gap and so no Tesla is not able to go the highway yet, at least not in the same sense.
- ra7 11mo agoTesla can’t go on highway (or anywhere) without a safety driver or a safety monitor in the passenger seat after nearly a decade of development. Not sure I’d call that “way ahead”.
