Just hype I’d guess. Tesla fans love to equate it’s self driving efforts with Waymo’s, when in reality they are years behind even with the new FSD update.

Neither has Waymo or Daimler ever demonstrated such a system with a truck on a highway. My point was about strategy.

And who will win general driving is yet open, and just assuming it Waymo is foolish. I think is funny how on HN people dismiss Tesla when there are actually tons of people who already do their commute on the highway almost without intervention literally all over the world.

They have trucks that will have this same feature and they have already talked about the idea of platooning.

Just downvoting me because you don't think Tesla approach is as good as Waymo/Daimler approach doesn't make what I said wrong.

That's just advanced driver assistance, nowhere near "full self driving". Granted, it's better than other cars, but it's still not self driving.

Also, "almost without intervention" has no meaning if you have to keep your hand at the wheel at all times ready to takeover.
