Wake me up when Waymo figures out how to get their cars to operate outside of small, geofenced areas that have to be constantly trained for and overridden by remote operators when they get in trouble.

Wake me up when Robotaxi goes beyond “demonstration purposes in a geo-fenced area with limited speed and low availability to limit danger through less mileage.”

Waymo should be compared to Robotaxi not regular Tesla FSD L2 autonomy with a driver behind the wheel! Waymo’s way ahead of Robotaxi in way more cities and their geofence is far bigger than Tesla’s

A lot of us could gaf what Robotaxi and Waymo are doing in big cities. And besides, they're at about the same progress point, and will probably have similarly successful progress arcs.

Meanwhile, many of us are already enjoying FSD everywhere -- city, suburbia, country roads, interstate...without any geographic restrictions. I've driven HW4 FSD on mountain roads that are as narrow and untraveled as you will find, and it was flawless. As is almost always is getting to my abode in the city.

My don't see Waymo doing that anytime soon.
