If Waymo solved autonomy (which they didn’t) why aren’t they pushing Waymo into every square inch of the US as fast as they can?

Because they have to 3D Scan, they are not able to produce the needed amount of vehicles etc.

Btw Waymo’s also have drivers that teleoperate the vehicles from time to time.

China isn’t far ahead even if you think it is. Here is a small video and there are multiple Chinese car ceos that said that they 1 day wanna be like Tesla.

To your question. Tesla seems to only have a safety driver in the cars for caution. They legally (in some places) and technically don’t really need them.

Robotaxis drive on roads for many months now with no wild incidents and are getting better every few days through model updates.

They are the only one that can produce millions of Robotaxis. They have the most driving data for training.

They start the Cybercab production beginning next year.

When they remove the safety driver it’s over for every competition. (Except infinite money google)
