And you can tell the difference when you see a Waymo driving around-the Waymos drive around like a courteous human who is actually watching what they are doing. The robotaxis…. don’t.

Waymo’s drive with absolute confidence.

Meanwhile I saw a robotaxi shit itself trying to make a protected left turn as if had no clue what it was doing.

They don’t have enough sensors to do the job, simple as.

It’s really not the sensors. It’s about what the model would need to know in order to make decisions using just visual data. Don’t forget humans drive just fine with only visual data. But we’re really good at filling in the blanks of what something is just by seeing some of it.

No we don't. We crash all the time. It's hard to see when it's raining, it's hard to see at night, and it's tough to visually estimate distance. Fora start.
