Because of underlying decisions about their respective approaches, it's not certain that Tesla will actually be able to achieve the same as Waymo. Specifically, Waymo does pre-mapping, and uses LIDAR, probably other things, that Tesla won't do, so with those two differences, it's not clear that the computing power is available for Tesla to achieve the same level of self driving as Waymo.



Seems like quite the blunder - maybe Tesla thinks they can add LIDAR to their own fleet of robo-taxis. Otherwise they bet the future of the company pretty foolishly.
