Tesla is aiming for a camera only method, whereas Waymo is going for a camera+LIDAR approach.

Waymo's latest hardware uses 13 cameras, 4 LIDARs, 6 radars and at least one mic. Def not early-optimized. I have not found a BOM for the whole package. That's a significantly different idea of how much, and how varied, sensor input it takes.
