Waymo has raised $3B in the last two months

The only reason Tesla releases new “features” is to recognize revenue and to stay afloat.

Comparing the amazing capabilities of Waymo cars to the Tesla toy is very misleading.

But tesla is the only one selling cars you can get today i guess. Waymo's ride share is still very very limited in availability and likely won't expand anytime soon

I never understand tesla fans.

Every accident, i hear them talk about how autopilot is not driverless, as fully self driving does not imply driverless. As it is a driver assistance system that requires human oversight and control.

On the other hand, there are constant claims of Tesla being the only one with driverless cars on the road.

Who is talking about accidents here? He was stating the fact that Tesla is the only car that has the best "autonomous" that you can buy, right now.

Not sure I agree here. The Tesla technology does quite well with a camera based sensor suite and a moderately priced custom silicon. It is rapidly getting better and they are logging an order of magnitude more miles than Waymo which is still using expensive LiDar and relying extensively on HD Maps.

It’s way too early to know which approach will be the “winner”.
