In a saner world Teslas would be running Waymo's self-driving stack instead of the half-baked "might kill you at any time" not quite-FSD.

They are not the same. I don't think Tesla or its consumers are interested in geofenced self driving, they want to be able to use it on road trips and driving around suburbs.

I think that was implied in my comment: that Tesla would use Waymo's stack for free navigation and self-driving, instead of not quite-FSD.

That's true, Waymo has true Level 4 Automation, and Tesla Customers delude themselves about the Capabilities of their Level 2 System and endanger others for some clout videos

I mean, Tesla gave up on quality self-driving many years ago when Elon went hard against LIDAR. He's never relented, either, and I don't foresee that changing.
