As someone who’s owned a Tesla since 2018, and was part of the early beta program, I at least have a better understanding of the tech than most random folks who don’t actually drive one daily. Also, I’m not a fan of Elon at all.

It is easily one of the best if not the top three in the world (I’m including the Chinese companies like BYD, but we can’t get those in the US).

I can say “navigate to the closest publix”, it will back out of my garage, and then drive there the whole way hands off, find a parking spot, and park.

Tesla’s robotaxi sq mileage is roughly 1100 miles vs Waymo’s 475. This is true autonomous no safety driver in the car.

So jokes aside, Tesla is leagues ahead of everyone else sans maybe some of the state funded Chinese car brands. Having actually used the tech daily for years, it’s incredible, truly.

Yeah, it is very good, but that’s only in roughly 1100 sq miles in the US. The long tail of edge cases is exponentially harder than the rest of it. They’re improving quite quickly was my point, and if anyone stands to pull it off, I’d bet on them pulling it off first.
