> And given that in Austin they just reached parity with Waymo (i.e. completely unsupervised robotaxi service), they are not doing badly.

There is no unsupervised robotaxi service in Austin and there won't be, for years, if ever. Just like the way "FSD" is not fully self driving and likely never will be.

According to https://robotaxitracker.com/ there are 7 unsupervised robotaxi in Austin right now.

Are these the cars where the safety driver is in a car tailing the robotaxi, or do they actually run without the need for a safety driver?

That is a lot of confidence. Do you work in the autonomous vehicle space?

What makes you so certain?

Because camera only simply won't be reliable enough with current technology.

lol its running now and growing every day, the thing about Tesla's solution is it works globally and the costs are much much less than Waymo will ever be able to achieve (Given there reliance on third parties for most of the hardware) Waymo and uber will be gone in a year.

A year? They'll be gone in two weeks!

Seriously, what portion of your financial and emotional net worth is tied up in TSLA?
