> The Waymo cars drive themselves without (in person) supervision. As best as I can tell from three rides, they do it perfectly.

I drove in a Tesla with FSD 12.4 3 times and it was perfect.

it doesn’t mean anything.

Waymo operates a business that offers hundreds or thousands of rides every day under regulatory supervision, and we have public data about accidents (there have been a few.) My anecdotal observations aren’t a replacement for data, but there is data. For the Tesla I’ve had FSD on my personal car since it became available in beta and have way more than three rides. My observations are sufficient to tell me it’s not reliable enough to run unsupervised, at least as long as I’m liable or in the same city as an unsupervised one.
