They are behind Waymo but they are getting there. They started giving fully autonomous drives since last month without safety driver in Austin. Tesla chose a harder camera-only approach but it's more scalable once it works.

- ahartmetz 8mo ago>more scalable It's cheaper, that's all it is.
- TheTxT 8mo agoWhich makes it easier to scale?
- ndsipa_pomu 8mo agoNot if they have to have remote drivers ready to help out with the "autonomous" system.
- ahartmetz 8mo agoWhich using a five-dollar word to describe a one-cent fact. Scalability is usually about O(n²) vs O(n log n) or something, not a smaller constant that's significant but not a game changer.
- flyinglizard 8mo agoClearly at this point the camera-only thing is the ego of Musk getting in the way of the business, because any rational executive would have slapped a LIDAR there long ago.
- dyauspitr 8mo agoWhy is it more scalable? LIDAR is cheap now.
- robhlt 8mo agoWaymo can go camera-only in the future too by training a camera-only model alongside their camera+lidar model. They'll probably get there faster too because the decisions the camera+lidar model makes can be used to automatically evaluate the camera-only model.
