Waymo’s reliance on expensive mapping limits scalability. Tesla solves self-driving with cameras and onboard computers at a fraction of the cost
Fundamental misunderstanding of the technology. Waymo requires human code, mapping, and a very expensive and extensive process to outfit vehicles with self-driving sensors. Tesla has solved self-driving with 8-9 cameras and an onboard computer, costing no more than $2k in additional parts. Tesla can manufacture 2-3 million Robotaxis per year at an average cost
