The difference in capabilities makes the core tech very different.

The point is Hotz's product shouldn't be compared to Waymo at all. One is driverless and the other is not. It should be compared to the likes of Tesla Autopilot or driver assist systems offered by other OEMs.

SAE Level 4 driving is several orders of magnitude harder than SAE Level 2. You are either good enough to drive without requiring a driver or you are not. There is a reason developing L4 systems cost billions of dollars. George Hotz thinks

His insights on self driving cars are total fluff once you realize he was only working on problems several orders of magnitude smaller in scope than the ones spending billions are attempting to solve. Autonomous driving is more than just ma

The newer “4D imaging” radars can track stationary objects too. This is what the self driving companies have turned to in recent times.

Tesla doesn’t release any data. But there are community trackers [1] that puts the disengagement rate in the single digit miles. In comparison, Waymo and Cruise had a rate of roughly 30,000 miles/disengagement according to CA DMV data.

Tesla’s vision approach doesn’t work. There is a reason it requires a driver to actively prevent crashes and has a disengagement rate in the single digit miles [1]. All over this thread you keep making grand statements that “it works”, whic

If I were a Tesla fan/investor/FSD customer, I’d be very concerned that the former (effective) tech lead of FSD doesn’t know about sensor fusion or that it’s a solved problem for majority of the companies in this space.

Probably not as it’s not a meaningful comparison. One is completely driverless (L4) and the other requires a driver with hands on the wheel ready to take over (L2). Removing the driver (safely and reliably) is like 99.99% of the problem in

Waymo does work in rain and fog. They are permitted to operate in both of those conditions in San Francisco. They also do extensive weather testing, including areas with snow, so presumably they are close to cracking that as well. https:&#

Great news! It does seem like the 5th gen hardware will enable scale and real revenue generating operations for Waymo. The videos coming out of driverless rides in SF [1][2] and Downtown Phoenix [3] (both employee-only currently) look very
