I don’t understand how Tesla is continuing to ride so high on a borderline-vaporware robotaxi when Waymo is so far ahead.

He obviously hasn't. The tech community is in for quite a shock with Tesla robotaxi's come out in a year or so and blow out the competition. One factor not discussed often is how much smoother FSD is compared to all other self driving. Especially noticeable when going from FSD to the free AutoSteer or GM Supercruise.
> tech community is in for quite a shock with Tesla robotaxi's come out in a year or so and blow out the competition 12.5.1.3 is incredible. But it's still Level 3, attempting to do something stupid at least on every trip I've been in one. I think Tesla will figure out Level 4 in the near future. What makes the "year or so" unrealistic is it will have to convince regulators that it's safe. For a variety of reasons, p…
I wish they would test going back to point-to-point pick-ups and drop-offs. I can easily see reasons to move to a designated pick-up and drop-off location model, but I feel it weakens the value proposition for people with mobility issues if they have to walk a few blocks.
I don't think that's up to Waymo, it's a legal thing mostly. The city has to allow that. The funny thing about self-driving cars is that they're designed to obey laws to the letter, which real drivers never do. I think we're going to see a lot of laws necessarily getting updated to allow real-life driving behavior, such as double-parking during pickup and dropoff.
Did the SFPUC make a change to disallow that then, because point-to-point is how Waymo worked in SF as recently as a month or so ago? Perhaps they did, as a condition of allowing expansion.

It's not a zero sum game.

They’re solving different problems. Waymo works in only some areas and requires all sorts of hardware. Tesla FSD is trying to do something more generalized.

I take a lot of ride shares and I’ve always been able to recharge. 9/10 times I say nothing to the driver the whole time Not trying to play devil’s advocate, just my experience
Mark Pincus (Zynga founder) tweeted that he wanted an option not to talk to drivers. He got a huge shit storm for not wanting to talk to poor people. Definitely don't advertise that you don't want to talk to drivers. Progressive politics is weird.
I rotated identities, just email, phone number, assumed a different last name in casual arenas, and everything went back to normal as a nobody.
Subsequently, the most amusing thing became reading about women googling all their potential dates. I never do that, but its funny that I’m a ghost and makes me wonder how many other ghosts they're giving the green check mark on. Seems like a waste of energy.

I don't know what you are talking about. Tesla FSD is trying to do exactly the same thing, but they are struggling to do get it to work at all.

No, but I don’t think its clear that Tesla deserves its valuation at its current rate. They aren’t demonstrating any competitive advantage or particular skill in the space vs Waymo

Waymo doesn’t exist here.
