  Because Waymo doesn’t try and do FSD with only cameras.

    Are they doing FSD if there are human overseas? Surely that is not “fully”.

    So human overseas and not only cameras.

      All these services have the ability for a human to solve issues if the FSD disengages. Doesn’t mean they’re not driving on their own most of the time including full journeys. The remote assistant team is just ready to jump in if there’s something unusual that causes the Waymo driver to disengage and even then they don’t usually directly control the car, they just give the driver instructions on how to resolve the situation.

        I think Waymo are right to do what they do. I just wouldn’t call it “fully”. If Telsa are doing the same and still doing badly, or should be doing the same and aren’t, it still makes them worse than Waymo either way.

    Searching for “Waymo human overseas” brings up results about it. Doing similar for Telsa isn’t finding anything. Also I’ve not heard about like I have with Waymo. I don’t think Waymo are wrong to do this at all. It not making a decision when unsure is safer.

      Waymo has a capability for remote control of their cars in niche situations. They don’t do it all the time like Tesla has been doing. It is for when they get boxed in to a street by moving trucks and the only way to move past is to break a driving rule like passing in a no passing zone. They have one remote driver for every 40 cars. Tesla has one remote driver for every one car.

        You got a link for those numbers? Very damning if true. 40x the humans and still worse stats?
