The choice is between:

* be completely autonomous from day 1, and progressively increase the number of situations you can drive through;

* or drive through every legal situation from day 1, and increase the % of them handled autonomously.

I believe the 2nd approach, Tesla's, has one key advantage: it collects data about freak situations much faster and more exhaustively. Given how data has become the key resource in AI, that's probably a very strategic asset they've accumulated here.

Also, Waymo's joker (remote operation by humans when the software bails out) is totally replicable by Tesla robotaxis.
