ONE THING TESLA AND COMMA.AI OVERLOOKED IN SELF-DRIVING

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Waymo was frequently mocked for being heavily geofenced. Tesla's universal 'no map' approach seemed to make more sense. However, 83% of the US population lives in urban areas - autopilot doesn't really need to be able to drive everywhere. Solving that last 20% of self-driving might be 80% of the effort. Waymo is happily chasing densely populated areas - it's now doing more than 250,000 paid rides without a driver a week.
