It's almost as if removing LiDAR cameras in favor of traditional cameras "because they're stupid" was the most idiotic ketamine-fueled decision a company could ever make. Why anyone believes Teslas can drive themselves in uncertain situations is beyond me.
I actually think this is kinda unfair. Up until recently, the only self driving system actually worth a shit was Tesla's. Due to the way it collected street data and upcycled it. The problem is that the system they implemented has a ceiling, but it was heads and tails above all competition for a while. Waymo are benefiting from not being Musk related, but as things stand, they're using more tele-operators than Tesla did for the normal Tesla's. Compared to the Robotaxis, who knows. That will come out in a few years.
Tesla had passable autopilot, but full self-driving has always been dogshit...
That's a fair distinction to make.
