It’s funny, my Tesla drove me 30 miles yesterday and I didn’t have to do a thing. People in this thread have no idea how good FSD has gotten


You're still in the driver's seat ready to intervene. Others are doing it every 13 miles: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/09/tesla-full-self-driving...


Waymo's remote operators are still sitting in an office intervening and as a passenger you don't even know that it's happening


Except they can't make the kinds of safety critical interventions Tesla driver's in the seat can make i.e. prevent accidents. That's just physics.

We know exactly how their remote operation works: https://waymo.com/blog/2024/05/fleet-response/


If my Tesla swerves into oncoming traffic with no warning and I get in a crash, who is responsible?

If my Waymo ride does the same, who is responsible?


Yeah, so? You don't think they're going to keep improving it until supervision isn't required?


13 miles per intervention after 8 years of development suggests it’s not happening anytime soon.


These guys are all talk and no action. They wouldn’t dare risk their life in the backseat while fsd is turned on but happy to be a keyboard warrior for Elon. It’s hilarious.


Yup, this. I use FSD almost every day now that it's available for Cybertruck, and it's already quite excellent. It pulls off human-like maneuvers that are kind of gobsmacking.


Then jump in the backseat if it’s gobsmacking and just as good as a waymo. Tell it to drive you to the other side of the city while you sleep in the backseat. Put your money where your mouth is.


I can understand the average person not realizing what Teslas can do today, but I'm highly disappointed that so-called "tech" people on this message forum have no idea.


See the thing is they do and you don’t. If you don’t know and understand why waymo is far ahead of elons lies and will never catch up with its current tech direction and strategy for supervised fsd (which is an oxymoron) then you should only be disappointed in yourself. If you’re so confident of the tech go jump in the back of a Tesla and let it drive you 100kms. Let’s see if you live to tell the tale. I’m happy to also do the same but in a waymo.
