I just can't imagine how Waymo or any other company can compete with the first-principles full stack engineering and scaling of Tesla, which touches virtually every important dimension of consideration. And that is today, not even a year from now.
The foundation Tesla has built and shown on AI day will progressively increase their lead in the years to come, I just don't see how anyone can compete with that level of forward thinking. To me it just seems obvious, so what am I missing about Waymo?
Tesla/musk self driving claims require extensive independent verification, as do the other fsd wannabes (they are all wannabes right now).
I still would like primary focus on highway driving and safety. That is the big efficiency win for logistics and slot easier than urban streets
