    During the last quarterly call, I thought Musk strongly implied with v.15 (the 10x parameter increase) in sight, they can't responsibly start the rapid robotaxi expansion just yet. Hopefully a big mapping update will come before then too.

    Waymo has had millions of total miles and rides. No serious fatalities that I know of.

    Just cause your tech (Tesla) isn't ready for prime time doesn't mean you can nitpick others that are already on the market.

    We all know the reason you post negative Waymo articles is because you're a Tesla fanboy who mistakenly thought FSD was the most advanced tech on the market, and cannot handle the fact that competitors have superior tech

    He is just a nerdy fanboi.
    He is no different than the Apple fanbois.

    One of their primary functions online is to defend their favorite product. They are never going to be objective. It's their identity.

    Yes, my understanding unsupervised FSD will not come out until V15, which is late this year (ha) or early next year.

    What often gets dismissed is that Waymo and Robotaxi/FSD is not an apples to apples comparison. Waymo is not trying to solve a complete human replacement, but just a uber displacement. I have much confidence in V14 getting me to point A to point B. I have no confidence its going to perform end parking better than a human at this stage. Honestly Tesla should take advantage and break the services apart. Give me a $50.00 uber experience and for another $50.00, let me use my vehicle as full autonomous end-to-end.

    lol great comparison. I always **** on Apple and touted Android as a better overall product. In the last year, I've been migrating over to Apple on some products. Not that I find the Apple product as superior, only that its much more simpler and convenient than android. Should have switched 5-7 years ago when Android peaked.
    Same with Tesla - Its not some superior product. There are lots of reasonable comparables. But we were reassured by many competition was coming. Now the competition is turning their excess battery supply into energy storage. Or writing off billions of debt. Eventually there will be true competition, but by then, EV's will be as boring as a muscle car.
