It’s not just Waymo. Amazon is also a decade ahead of Tesla in the robotaxi game with their Zoox subsidiary. Zoox even has bespoke vehicles that make sense for a world where a FSD should not require a driver’s seat with full steering column and steering wheel. It’s more like the back of a Vauxhall London cab. Chevy Cruze was also in this game until they had a horrific deadly accident in SF.

The whole point about FSD is that by removing human error you dramatically increase safety. So it’s beyond dumb to say that humans rely on vision and their organic brains to drive so that’s all the programmed and limited intelligence of a car should require and yet promise increased safety.

Zoox is the kind of name you see on a list and think to yourself, "Am I going to have to get vaccinated for that if I travel overseas?"
