That's funny since people used to say that cruise AND waymo were taking it slow and steady. The only difference is that waymo hasn't had a major incident.
Though as bad as it is (or isn't, I'm not super informed on the very latest version of FSD), it seems like Tesla has improved a lot recently. Which doesn't necessarily mean it's good at all, just that it was pretty bad when they started the beta. So I'm not sure which approach will end up winning. As weird as it sounds, going about it so slowly just makes you a lot more vulnerable when stuff goes wrong like with the Cruise car accident. Tesla on the other hand is a car manufacturer, so they won't really ever "quit" unless they shut down.
