Ask HN: People who tried both, how does Waymo compare to Tesla Robotaxi?
- MaysonL 10mo agoI’ve never used either, but Waymos don’t need a safety driver, Tesla’s pseudoRoboTaxis do.
- MilnerRoute 10mo agoThere were reports this week that Tesla might actually be running fewer cars in Austin than people think. https://electrek.co/2025/12/22/tesla-robotaxi-project-austin-much-smaller-than-musk-claims/ https://electrek.co/2025/12/22/tesla-robotaxi-project-austin...
- Zigurd 9mo agoYou will have trouble finding genuine comparisons. As a recall, there were some press trips to Austin that compared Tesla Robo taxi to Waymo. But as with any press publicity, it can be a carefully curated experience. Even the much-publicized empty Tesla Robo taxis with no safety driver on board turned out to be followed by a "chase car." As others on this thread have pointed out, there may be a lot less to Tesla Robo taxi coverage than has been promoted in the press, never mind all the Teslafluencers.
