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 <$35k. These can be dropped in any geography over time. Waymo is limited by mapping.

Tesla can have 100x to 1000x more Robotaxis per year than Waymo. Waymo achieved self-driving first, but never solved for scale. Tesla solved for scale, and now has solved for self-driving. It's obvious who will win the decade. https://twitter.com/farzyness/status/1915443771283591567
