I've seen this claimed a lot but never have gotten a definitive answer.
Is this like "overall better but hard to pinpoint" or "this maneuver is smoother than Waymo" or something in between?
Would love to hear experiences with them since they're so limited currently.
- smallmancontrov 10mo agoYeah Tesla has more smoothing, but IMO that's less interesting than the ability to navigate tricky scenarios and model other actors. Here's my collection of interesting videos, Tesla only because those are the ones I get forwarded to me. I'd love to see a similar collection for Waymo.
