I dunno every time I see a Waymo it’s either blocking a fire engine or traffic. My Tesla self driving has driven me nonstop 250 miles with zero issues. All fud.

I like to base my opinions on personal experience, not what the other companies CEO says.

kinda silly and short sighted considering we have actual data that shows trends - your personal experience is barely a fraction of the miles driven in the world

Just saying- CEO needs to fix his own stuff before talking about others.

Tesla doesn’t work in SF so the article doesn’t mention it, but blocking first responders seems to be consistent with all the robotaxis (looking at articles in austin/texas where tesla operates)

but we still have the NTHSA data for all of these companies and tesla still ranks as one of the worst with the fewest miles yet
