You are grossly misinformed. Waymo self driving never disengages the way Tesla FSD does. It is active at all times. In novel situations humans will provide instructions on what path to take but this is relatively infrequent. Tesla Robotaxis are so bad they need a safety driver in every single car at all times ready to take control when the car does something stupid. The small number of robotaxis without safety drives are limited to a tiny area and not open to the public.

Waymo works while robotaxi doesn't.



> Waymo self driving never disengages the way Tesla FSD does. It is active at all times

Consumer version of FSD can park a car if a driver doesn't take contol[1]. Waymo seems to require a remote command to initiate parking instead of just standing there with hazard lights on[2].

> Tesla Robotaxis are so bad they need a safety driver in every single car at all times ready to take control

Every single robotaxi in Austin doesn't have a driver behind the wheel. So a driver can't be ready to take control. Stop lying. I no longer believe that you are misinformed.

"Every single robotaxi in Austin doesn't have a driver behind the wheel."

Almost ALL of them do. And NO waymo's need them.
