Waymo is robust to removing the map / lidars / radars / cameras or adding inaccuracies to any of these 4 inputs.

(Not sure if this is true for the production system or the one they're still working on.)

Waymo is safe where they've mapped and trained and tested, because they track when their test drivers have to take control.

Tesla FSD is just everywhere, without any accountability or trained testing on all the roads people use them on. We have no idea how often Tesla FSD users have to take control from FSD due to a safety issue.

Waymo is objectively safer, and their entire approach is objectively safer, and is actually measurable, whereas Tesla FSD's safety cannot actually be accurately measured.

I think the Waymo approach is the one that will actually deliver some measure of self driving cars that people will be comfortable to use.

It won't operate everywhere, but it will gradually expand to cover large areas and it will keep expanding till it's near ubiquitous.

I'm dubious that the Tesla approach will actually ever work.
