The Self-Driving Competition
While this was a big step for Tesla in terms of its self-driving car capabilities, the company certainly isn’t leading the pack when it comes to the technology.
Waymo, for example, is operating a fully autonomous operation — dubbed Waymo One — in four different cities, Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and yes, Austin. Cruise is another that operates in Phoenix and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Suffice to say, Tesla has its work cut out for itself when it comes to catching up in the autonomous taxi service game. But hey, at least they’re on the road.
