Except each of the 600 Waymo vehicles is fully self driving with more being added. The number of Teslas that are fully self driving out of millions on road is zero.

Apollo is also built by the same developer as this extension. Best Reddit client IMO.

Price indicates class of the vehicle (premium in Tesla’s case), so they can be compared with cars in the same class that have similar safety features.

Monorail pillars are also not an edge case. Plenty of cities have monorails. Just because FSD doesn't work there doesn't mean it's an edge case.

Interestingly, the original creator of the video has since made it private. FSD beta testers are carefully handpicked — a lot of the Tesla “influencers” are given access for some free marketing. I wonder how many FSD bad driving videos are

Apollo is one that’s excellent. Narwhal is pretty popular too.

Those are their previous generation vehicles. The I-Pace in SF are the newest generation with upgraded sensors.

Source for them struggling? All the hardware upfitting is done by Magna, one of the biggest names in auto manufacturing, who are also a Waymo investor. There’s a reason they chose the Jaguar I-Pace which is also manufactured by Magna.

Electric and manufactured by the same company that does upfitting for Waymo vehicles (and also a Waymo investor) – Magna International.

That's the point of this comment chain. They don't have to make it work everywhere in the contiguous United States to have a useful product. The (robo)taxi market is concentrated in big metro areas and that's what their focus

You're talking about personal driving, which is a different use case than robotaxis. For that, yes, you're better served with an ADAS system. It will take a while for L4 systems like Waymo to trickle down to passenger cars.

Yeah, fair enough. Only adverse weather they'd encounter in SF is fog and may be light rain. But I still consider driving in SF pretty challenging, especially for an autonomous vehicle – narrow roads, people not following rules, pedest

I'm aware. It's really between "maybe works, maybe doesn't everywhere (L3)" vs "works with no driver in a defined area (L4)". I consider the latter as more advanced as they are taking full responsibility f

How? Level 3 requires a driver who needs to take over when alerted. Level 4 is fully driverless.

> Also, just a reminder that Waymo in Phoenix is nowhere close to being level 5 Because they are not even trying to be level 5. They've made it very clear that will only ever be a level 4 company and level 5 is not feasible.

Is there a market for taxis in the rural areas? They have little incentive to expand there if there's no money to be made.

They operate in only a small area of Phoenix metro – Chandler and some parts of Tempe. That's why the numbers are small. My guess is Chandler is purely a testing ground for them to learn to operate a robotaxi service. Things like remot
