So a Tesla?
- smilekzs 6mo agoOff-roading aspirations and 3rd row legroom (S1) seem to be major differentiators from Rivian. As for autonomy, Waymos have LIDARs which at least provides more redundancy. I see these as different design tradeoffs so no judgment implied.
- guywithahat 6mo agoI, independently, made almost exactly the same comment before seeing yours lol. I already do 20+ hour cross-country trips in my Y without a break to sleep, which is only possible because I'm not meaningfully fatigued driving. it's still technically supervised but I think that's beyond the point OP is making
- rootusrootus 6mo ago> I already do 20+ hour cross-country trips in my Y without a break to sleep Always feels a little weird to read a comment that is plausibly going to end up being referenced in a future news article.

- guywithahat 6mo agoI don't disagree tesla's have been in accidents but FSD is provably safer than human drivers. My likelihood of crashing is a lot lower using FSD
- cheema33 6mo agoI bought a 2018 Model 3 that was later upgrade with HW3. I paid about $10K extra for the full auto-pilot. Elon back then said that eventually the car will come pick me up from the airport. That was a nice dream. Nearly 10 years later, my Tesla still cannot do that. $10K for full autopilot on Tesla in 2018 was essentially a fraud. I have since then learned not to trust anything Elon says.
- UltraSane 6mo agoWaymo uses Lidar and radar as well as cameras and so is fundamentally superior to Tesla's camera only approach.
