Tesla's ambitious plans for self-driving technology face significant hurdles, with the company's Head of Autopilot admitting that it lags two years behind Waymo's advancements. Despite promises of launching a pilot robotaxi service, the reality is more complex. Waymo's fleet is seen as the gold standard in self-driving, raising doubts about Tesla's current capabilities and future timelines. The competitive landscape in autonomous vehicles is evolving, with key players like Volkswagen reaching cost-parity with traditional vehicles, making the race for autonomy even more significant.
"Equal quality, technically, Waymo is already performing. We are lagging by maybe a couple of years," said Tesla's head of Autopilot and AI.
Tesla's promises of self-driving technology advancements are not as close to realization as expected, highlighting the competitive disparity with Waymo.
