  • That’s because Tesla self-driving takes a different, and imo way worse, approach.

    Waymo relies on mapping, the entire city is basically 3D modelled and loaded into the car memory. It’s more or less ‘on rails’. It also uses LIDAR for live data alongside imaging cameras, again building a 3D model of its environment combined with image recognition.

    Tesla decided that, for some reason, they want their cars to drive ‘like humans’, only relying on vision and deployable anywhere, without pre-mapping.

    Demanding a computer to behave like humans, instead of using a computer’s strengths, seems like a very poorly thought out move to me.
